To "try" to make a long story short...we got casey a year ago, she was dumped at a shelter her owners said she didn't get along with their other dog. She is very timid and seems to have been mistreated.
She does okay when my brother brings his dog over but casey does growl if he keeps bugging her. My 13 year old would like a dog for herself. She is going through somewhat of a trying time, she is boy crazy and I am putting lots of boundaries. I think if she bonds with a dog it would be great for her. Me and my other daughter are more bonded with casey and casey is somewhat difficult to bond with you have to do all the initiating of any contact she is extremely shy.
After all the problems heinz57 has had I am scared, casey isn't aggressive and I would crate the new dog in my daughters room(if it is destructive) during our 7 hours of nobody home.
What does everybody think? My daughter wants a small dog, any suggestions of a mellow small dog? I was thinking about a pomeranian because I like the size and the coat but I don't know much about their disposition. Also do you think male or female would do better with a female already present?
