I want to talk to you about beagles, can you get on AIM soon?
If you cannot, the I have a couple of questions.
1. Where is the best place to get one.
2. How do you train it not to bark a lot.
3. Are males louder than females.
4. Would they be good apartment dogs?
But seriously, Fox Terrier's are cool medium sized dogs.
Edit-
I'm researching for you right now, and IMO its a toss up between Fox Terriers and Beagles. I happen to like Beagles, my uncle has one, she is an awesome little dog.
Hold their bottom jaw. Like grip the whole noze like you are going to wrap your hand around it, but dont put your thumb and index finger across the top of the nose, and take your other hand, and take your index and middle finger and hit his nose across the top and with out yelling say no with your voice raised and serious tone look him in the eye.
