Okay, new question for dog people (cat people skip this)

[BrianR]

I am looking for a new dog and for once I'm not going to go potluck at the pound. I now have criteria.

To wit:

friendly
territorial
small (<20 lbs)
intelligent
trainable easily
attractive (I can be flexible on this)
playful character
no complicated grooming rituals (brushing okay but cannot deal with long hair a la Afghan Hound)

Any ideas? I'm really looking at a rare breed the Alaskan Klee Kai (K2 for short). The Klee Kai (different breed lacking the "bandit mask" markings) is also acceptable since I want a companion dog and not a breeder.

I will have a yard for the dog to run off excess energy but no fence so dogs with strong prey instincts are right out. Wildlife abounds near my new home.

Peace

Brian
