Whats the best small dog to have?


Recommended Posts

"toy" being the name given to a small dog to attract attention.. as with dogs called "teacup" a friend has a shih tzu and its lovely - needs lots of walking though having a small bladder and they often crave attention and can have plenty of energy.. poodles are nice dogs but dont know much about them, you can cure the yappy-ness if your willing to train the dog

I've only ever met yappy dachshunds, you mean there are quiet ones! :hihi:

 

my Tilly is a quiet one. She doesn't bark a lot at all. She's so floppy and laid back at home. We've dragged her all over the country over the last 2 weekends, and she's taken it all in her stride. She is shy, but I'd say she is beginning to come out of her shell. :)

Ive looked at a toy poodle what are they like?

 

Well our poodle x is very similar in size to a toy poodle. My nanan also had one years ago. Both dogs I found to have very gentle and placid natures. Our dog is very undemanding and likes his cuddles. I would think that they don't need masses of exercise, although our dog does get walked four times a day and for a minimum of 20 minutes, but I guess that is just personal choice. They do not lose hair like most other dogs, so this is great, they will need regular hair cuts though.

Jack Russell :) not many will agree with me,

 

I would agree with that. I had a gorgeous JR many yearsago - not yappy at all, very affectionate and had such a personality. She was amazing!! :love:
