What kind of dog would be good for me?

sounds like you want a beagle to me! they are very loving and like to run and play. but they also like to cuddle up with you and give you love. i have a beagle basset hound and she is the best of both worlds. she loves to run and play but she likes to nap with me and cuddle! they are very loving and caring dogs. hope this helps and good luck with your new doggy!!
