Question
hi,

 my uncle wants a dog but he cant walk far as hes got a rare bone disorder but I'm 12 and have had dogs before and no how to train them and such and i would walk it. He really like border collies and a few terriers hes got a quite big garden and he would like a medium sized dog can you suggest and breeds that are easy to find and that will suite him they need to be quite popular dogs as he wants to rescue one can you suggest and breeds thanks Jake

Answer
Probably a Lhasha Apso would be the right breed,as they don't need a lot of exercise,and are medium at about 25 pounds

Border collies and terriers are very active and need a lot of walking ect If he still wants a border collie,it would be good to get one from a rescue that is 8 or older-as for terriers I have a Scottish terrier and he is ten but is as active as most puppies,about the only terrier that is calm is a Boston terrier but they are often hard to find-so my best bet is  a lhasha apso they are actually related to the terriers but are a lot more laid back
