    HA! That makes me laugh. If you don't want arguments, then don't post about getting a new dog when you can't afford the current vet care of your current dogs. AND, of course they're going to get mad at you over the chain, and I already expressed my opinion on that.

    We post boards that should never start a fight, but someone says something and then an argument starts. It shouldn't make you laugh because it's true

    Alright, then.

    You want suggestions on what kind of show dog to get?

    First do you mind me asking what Diesel and Lola's registered names are, I'm really curious.

    And you need something small and obviously short coated because grooming is an issue. I suggest a Pug. They shed, but that's not an issue for your family. Another option would be a French Bulldog, but they can be difficult to housetrain and very expensive off the bat as puppies simply because they're somewhat rare. I think a Pug would be best, they're relatively easy dogs.

    Diesel's is High Octane Diesel Douglas
    And to be honest, I'm not entirely sure about Lola's. Last time I heard they hadn't thought of it yet.

    I agree with you.

    "Miniature" Boston Terriers don't exist. A Chihuahua you would have to be *very* careful about with three BIG dogs around. Although, a Boston Terrier in and of itself would actually be a good idea.

    Your Welcome Makayla. So has your mother said anything about Chihuahuas? I also recommend a Miniture Boston Terrier, or a French Bull Dog.

    A mini Boston? I've never heard of those. Is it some designer breed like Mini Aussies or something? I haven't talked to my mom about it yet because I've been so mad and focused on how everyone was making this board an argument . But I'll talk to her today.

    If you're looking for a show dog, a "miniature" Boston Terrier will not work, as they do not exist. They are a marketing ploy

    lol hey Almita, it's me Britt cuz u helped me out with this username

    yes, minature boston terriers are small and good but they are VERY expensive because they are so rare.. after we bought my dog and got all the needed things she needed and after a few puppy trips to the Vet.. within a few months she had cost over $1,000.. so they are expensive. i had a regular boston terrier and she was small not as small as my minature one but she was small.. those are less expensive and probably more easier to find.

    i also have a daschund. he's good but like other posters have said they have back problems, which most people are aware of because they are so long.
    your's had breast cancer, zoomer? was she fixed? female dogs being fixed, are less likely to get breast cancer. just in the near future if she wasn't fixed you might wanna take that into consideration same applys for male dogs, except not the same type of cancer.

    also Roxyluvsme13, her dog might be dying, but just because her dog is dying doesn't mean your not allowed to think of getting another dog. Also vet bills ARE VERY expensive, all depending on what is wrong with the animal.
