I want to buy A dog but I don't know what kind to get. I don't want a big dog either. I also want a dog that won't be that expensive to buy. Can anyone find a match?

Well, I think everyone else would agree... PLEASE GO TO AN ANIMAL SHELTER! AND PLEASE RESEARCH THE BREED YOU ARE GETTING INSIDE, AND OUT! having a dog is A HUGE responsibility, like caring for a child. I REALLY hope you know what you are getting into...
That is all I can say... :confused:
I don't want to be rude, I don't. But to me it sounds like you have not reserched at all. Dogs are a lot of time and a lot of money. If you don't want to spend a lot of money to buy then maybe you shouldnt buy one at all, vet bills can be very high and if you can't afford vet bills for the future there is no way you should be purchasing or adopting a dog. www.petfinder.org is a great place to find homeless animals. There is no use buying a purebred if your not showing or doing sports, and even if you want to show or do sports you can do it with mixed breeds too.
You said it much better that I did! ;)Quote:

Well if nobody is going to help me why did I post this? As a matter of fact I've done alot of research and I've already been to a whole bunch of sites looking for dogs. I was just asking for some advice. I just want a good dog. A small dog!
we are giving you advice..not being mean in any way. just dogs are expensive either way you look at it. why don't you go to http://www.petfinder.com and go to shelters & rescue groups at the top of the page (it's in the middle you can't miss it. ;)) and go to your state and look if there are any small dogs near you or better yet you can go to your local animal shelter / rescue and go see what they have. :)
Lol, but you kept it short and sweet! There is nothing wrong with that. Very good point about caring for a child. That is so true! I never thought I would be a mother at 13, I thought I was getting a dog and she wouldn't be that much in my life. Wow how much that changed. I won't date anyone my dog doesn't like. I make all my choises on how Zoey wants.Quote:

Everyone.... I'm really really really sorry I reacted that way! It was immature! I just want to know a good dog breed that's all. I want a small breed. I wanted a pomeranian but different sites tell me different things about all dogs that I research. I just want to know from other people. So I'm sorry. I know what taking care of a dog takes. I have one already.
The purchase price (I hate calling it that) of a dog is nothing compared to how much the dog will cost you in the end. Just be aware that dogs cost money to be cared for properly.
Cavalier King Charles are excellent dogs. Have you done research on them? They are great family dogs, very friendly, and with training they can be really obedient. I love them :)
