Dog lovers/owners

[LusciousJohnson]

I wanna get my babies a puppy
i want to get one that doesnt get bigger than medium sized. ideally i would like a miniature of whatever breed i get.
i dont know much about dogs so my question is what kinds of dogs are smart, easily house trained, and good with kids?

Re: Dog lovers/owners

a friend of mine has a ****zu and she seems friendly but i am not around it 24/7 so i dont know much about ****zu

another friend has a Maltese. he is soooo adorable
she said they are like kids and a require a lot of attention but i dont know if thats because she doesnt have kids and she treats her puppy like its her child

i had a yorkie before and he was great! i just wanted something different this time but if in fact a yorkie turns out to be the best choice i wouldnt mind having one again

Re: Dog lovers/owners

How old are your 'babies'? Do they want a dog?

Re: Dog lovers/owners

the oldest is about to be 11 and the youngest is 3. Yes they want a dog. They have been begging me forever!

Re: Dog lovers/owners

i find Yorkies (well the one that my sister has), to be kinda snappy (with kids )and possessive towards one person.

eg: if he thinks that u threatening my BIL he will get aggressive...even towards my sister (who bring him up too and call him har baby )

oh it was a ugly pretty pug

Pug

They are good watchdogs and wonderful playmates for children. Their bright and cheerful disposition makes them excellent therapy dogs. Most Pugs get along with other animals and respond well to obedience training. Pugs are very intelligent and require lots of human attention.

The Pug is the largest member of the well known Toy breed. With an average height of 8 inches, and a weight of 13 pounds, they are definitely more than a handful of dog. In personality this dog is the perfect household companion - patient, non-aggressive, good-natured and incredibly tolerant with children. Furthermore, he is practically odor-free, requires little grooming and is not yappy like some other small dogs.

Re: Dog lovers/owners

What are your requirements?

Why not go with the kids to the animal shelter an visit and see what is there and what they like.

Do you want a non-shedding dog?

Yappy or non yappy

high energy or laid back
