If it didn't bark or shed what would be the concern?
Also, it wouldn't be a very big dog.Like 10 pounds max so nothing too scary! Would you guys just want to know ahead of the time?

It would not bother me in the least. I have trained and owned hunting dogs for the last 20 years. Heck, I own two labs right now.
BUT, I will warn you of a few things. Dogs are like humans. Each dog has a different personality and different feelings. Some are easy to train and some are just hard headed.
Crate train the dog. Helps with potty training. Also helps with separation anxiety and jealousy issues. You don't want the dog in his crate watching momma have some "fun" and be jealous. If he is, he will whine and moan. He will also wanna get in on the fun.
NEVER let the puppy sleep in bed with you!
If you are looking to get a small dog, look for a mutt. They tend to have fewer aggression issues.
