Question - fem - 10-12-2004

I am wanting to get a small dog. It has to be small cause I live in an Apartment. My boyfriend and I have been discussing it, but we don't want a dog that will be barking a whole lot or anything. Can any of yall recommend a good small dog and give any advice? I have a few in mind, I just wanted to get some other opinions.

TIA

Pugs don't bark, just snort.

Question - ClayRock - 10-12-2004

most small dogs are very high strung.

maltese (sp?) seem to be the mildest that i know of

I believe we look for different qualities in a dog.

Question - fem - 10-12-2004

Pugs are cute, do they really snort?

I was looking at some Maltese Dogs on the net, and they are so cute! I think they're expensive though.

Really like a lap dog more. Still want it to be a little playful. It will be in the apartment when we aren't there. Most of the time someone is around though. If I'm home, I'd take it out a bunch.

No barking, don't really need a watch dog.

this is the dog we're REALLY gonna get...

Is that a chocolate lab? I would like a big dog someday, but don't want one in an apartment.

based on the imput provided, I would recomend any one of the following.

Pomeranians
Maltese
Pugs
Papillons
Bichons
Lhasa Apso

I would not recomend any sort of Terrier, Dachshunds, Chihauhauas or Pekinese, because they tend to be a "one person" dog, and can be rather teritorial (sp?)

try here http://www.infopet.co.uk/pages/3170.html for more info.

Question - asshat - 10-12-2004

I have a Maltese and they are great dogs. They may be expensive, but not much when you consider that you will have it for 15 years or so. They don't chew on anything, they don't shed, good with children, and can be easily housebroken.

But, I haven't ever had one, but you might also check into the Bichon Friese (sp?). I have heard good things about them also.

Pomeranians bark ALL THE FUCKING TIME, i do not recommend one at all...they also are very needy and want attention all the time.

Question - Bill - 10-12-2004

Samoyed would be a good dog if your willing to go that big, I had one once....very good dog....right now I have this...http://www.infopet.co.uk/amazonart/dogs/sibe.gif
