I spent ages comparing breeds and came down to Border Terrier or Minature Schnauzer .
The Schnauzer has a lower prey drive so we got Otto.
Part of the comparison was how good they were with children and didn’t mind being left alone which might not be relevant to you.
10.4kg will happily walk 10 miles or have 30 mins walk. He can run 5k with me but his pace is really slow.

This made me laugh. Our Otto is just about ok up to 8mi (maybe once or twice a week) but spends the whole time running around me in laps at about 20 mph getting arsey that I'm so slow.
I'd really like to know how far he actually runs compared to me.

The gf and I are looking at getting a puppy, I'm going to be working from home for the foreseeable future, at least 6 months and even then maybe just 1 day a week in the office after that. She wants something really small like a Chihuahua but I'd rather have something Beagle sized. We currently live in a flat but plan on moving somewhere with a garden asap (maybe in 12 months, who knows, EWS1 innit), there's a big park 15 mins walk away and a smaller one maybe 2 mins walk away. I'm thinking something like a Boston Terrier may be a compromise size-wise, does anyone have a recommendation?
