Which dog should I get?

[horse_lover]

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.

I'm sorry for being rude! I didn't mean it!

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

In the bottom right corner of this page: http://www.mysmartpuppy.com/ask-us/articles.html The author has several links to different breed types. Each of those links gives you very good general information on a type/catagory of breeds. This may give you a start at what would fit well with you and your situation. Read the first link on purebreds and then go from there. Good luck

pomerainians are nice dogs. i have one. they are barkers. they bark at everything. they shed. some people don't like dogs that shed. hair does get everywhere. you have to brush them out every day. if you don't they will get mats and that can be painful for a dog.

there are small dogs in shelters. i adopted my Beanie from the humane society 5 yrs ago. i'm not sure where you live, but if you'd like you can PM me and i'll help you find an animal shelter or rescue.

it may seem like we are jumping at telling you to do research on the breed you want and dogs in general. unfortinatly we've seen what happends to a lot of dogs that people get when they want a dog, but don't do their research on the breed and about dogs. dogs are left abandoned or killed. we just don't want to see it happen again.

good luck!

Firstly, if you get a dog it's like deciding to have a child and all of the responsibilities that goes along with it. Their medical care is expensive, they require discipline, schedules and all of the same things that children need. Just be sure you are committed to such a long term relationship before you make the big step. Please check with your local shelter and rescue groups and you'll be very surprised about what they have to offer. A lot of these dogs have already been crate trained and on their way to being obedient dogs. Good luck to you and I hope your years with your new fur child will be long and happy!! Both of my Labs are rescues and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world because they have added so much to my life!

Honestly REREAD my post!! The first sentence I wrote was trying not to offend you, it was all helpful. You did not explain how much reserch you have done. YOU ONLY HAD TWO SENTENCES, and you expect us to be like oh get a purebred and tell you what purebred.
