Need opinions!

I need opinions.
I am finally moving into an apartment that allows dogs so once again I can have one! Yay!

I just need ideas as to what. I will PROBABLY rescue, but I want to have some breeds in mind.
It's an apartment, so I don't really have a yard, but I'm not one to put my dog outside and let it entertain itself, so it will go for regular walks. Hopefully not one thats prone to bark a lot just for noise concerns.

I work long hours (50-60 hours a week), but due to the nature of my job, it will be coming to work with me pretty much every day. It will have to deal with my cats..


I know most dogs are the way they are due to training, but I just want some ideas thrown about..

I don't care about prone to certain conditions or whatnot - due to my career I could deal with a dog that had multiple conditions and required 20 thousand pills a day. :P

I've found a breeder of Norwich Terriers that is only about 2 hours away, and I am going to meet her and her dogs in the next few months. They have a litter planned in the next 4 months or so and appear to be very reputable - all their dogs are health screened through the OFA, and they show them regularly (one of their dogs actually competed at Westminster a few years back) :O
Sounds like they are responsible breeders, it takes a LOT to be invited to compete at Westminster (certain amount of wins etc)

Have you seen the movie "Best in Show" it features a Norwich Terrier, good movie if you are into dog shows

Good luck, I know whatever you buy will be very well looked after.

Wow, they have beautiful dogs!
They definately get along with cats too, that Sam and Andy pic is too cute

I especially like their "Responsible Breeding" page, they have very good standards.
