Your dog will slide and click on any laminate floor.

Pergo type laminate is what it is. It's lower cost and can be a
good
choice for the right application. For me, that would likely be a
basement office, or similar, where appearance isn't top on the list,
but better moisture resistance is, etc. If it were a main living
area, and depending on the value of the house, I'd at least consider
going with a real engineered wood. It's more expensive, but it looks
like real wood, where Pergo can look pretty good, but it deosn't look
like real wood. And when you go to sell, I think real wood is a
feature that does add some value to the price.

Thank you all again!!!

We live near the rainforest,in a very rural area, 4 wheel drive, a
coffee farm, no mail delivery, no municipal water etc--very rural so I
doubt that when we sell this place, anyone will really care about our
floor--if it looks clean. I do care. Our spayed female Border
Collie (think BOING BOING BOING) runs around like a nut. In one door
and out the other.

I have seen an ad for Pergo (in the Lowe's flyer) and it came in a
dark color too. I think, after no harsh comments from you all, that I
am next going to ask a carpet installer we have used before and go
forth. If I can see the dirt, at least I can clean it. The carpet
just seems to get murkier and murkier in color- and I imagine the
colony growing below.

A multitude of thanks to you all for your valuable input!!!!
