Which dog should I get?

[mruffruff]

It would help to know your living situation and how many people/animals live there. A dog that would be good for one person might not be good for a large or young family.

I like Cairn and Norwich Terriers. They are small without being tiny, don't need a lot of brushing but do need regular grooming, and are good guard dogs. But I don't know that they would be good with very small children and I know they need a firm hand. Also they are diggers.

What are you looking for in a dog?

If you want a Pomeranian you better be prepared to groom them every day. I groom Lily almost every day, and she still has mats here and there. They are very energetic dogs, and if you don't like barkers then I suggest you don't get one. They do shed slightly, but if brushed, they usually aren't too bad. They do need lots of stimulation, if not they will destroy things. (trust me, I learned the hard way ) Lily also has a slight bit of separation anxiety, and when excited or nervous she pees..

We can't really tell you which dog would fit your lifestyle best. We hardly know anything about you. I like sighthounds, but they might not fit your lifestyle. Tell us more about what kind of dog you want. You said small, but what else.

Do you want an active dog, or a couch potatoe?
Do you want the dog to do something with/for you, like protection or agility?

Any information would help.

.

Any dog that you love a ton will protect you in return no matter what breed or breeds.

Maybe coming here asking for advice was part of her reaserch?

Bit different from what you wanted originally eh?

I hope you rescued him?? Pits are wonderful and sweet dogs but they do require a lot of training so make sure to enroll him in an obedience class ASAP!

Good luck and I expect lots of pics... and soon :P
