Default Primer for houses

I've been trying to help my grandmother out with fixing up her house. It's in dire need of being repainted. She wants the color to be blue and I am praying that there is some neighborhood law that will make her change her mind. haha! Anyway, there is A LOT of work that needs to be done before we can do any painting, but I've been reading tons of information (as this is my first time having to do something like this) on how to go about this and what products to use. I have narrowed my choices down to a few different types of paint and primers and thought that I would just see what you guys have used/suggestions. Right now, the one that I am leaning mostly towards is Mad Dog. Supposedly it is flexible and can withstand weather extremes (she lives in Minnesota) and it's non toxic (she has a little dog and her young great grandkids come to visit-not my children haha!). So, if anyone has used Mad Dog specifically and could let me know what you think of it, or if you know of any other products that have the same qualities, I'd appreciate any info you have! I'm looking for non-toxic/eco-friendly, long lasting (I really don't want to have to paint this dang house again anytime soon!), can handle weather extremes, and something that I don't have to spend a TON of time cleaning up. Being able to spray it, of course would be important too! haha! Thanks in advance!
