I suggest a Maltese. My grandmother, who is in her 60's, has three Maltese, and she is able to take care and handle all three which two she has had since they were little puppies. My next suggestion would be a Poodle. [a handsome, nice, quiet one like Reece ] Whichever she chooses, PLEASE tell her to go to the shelter befor she decides to "purchase" one. Saving a life is muhc better, especially when it's appreciated so greatly for the shelter pups.
