    Small Dogs

    My mom said our next dog is going to be a little dog. I asked her about a Bichon Frise but she said they took too much grooming for their fur. I also asked about Whippets and Italian Greyhounds but they get cold easily and scar easy. Dachshunds have too many health problems. Beagles bark too much. Jeesh! Can you help?

    hmm that's weird Daschunds are wonderful pets also Chihuahua's Corgie's Shih Tzu's, or a Maltese? Try to find a dog you want and see if she'll let you get that. Seems like she wants one but there are conditions about which one to get.

    When the time comes why dont you go to the shelter and look maybe a dog will pick you out. And if its a mixed breed your mom cant say anything about the one breed because it may not have that trait.

    Go to a shelter when it's time for your next dog.. I don't get why you're already deciding on another dog though when your dogs aren't even that old..

    I had a Dachshund and she got Breast Cancer. I'll check out Chihuahuas and Corgis.

    8 isn't that old, and if you can't afford tumors how can you afford another dog?

    Why do you need to keep getting animals when you're already struggling?

    How is she struggling? She just said that they are tumors that keep coming back. She takes care of all of her 30 pets very well.

    This isn't about me, and mind your own business because you don't know me or my animals.

    I agree with Alyssa, and I'm tired of being bashed and bashing other people, so I'm staying away for a while.

    Yea i agree with you about the mixed breed she can't say anything about that. Yes go find a local shelter near you and find a small dog that she will approve when its the time to get your new dog.

    Get cold in Washington ? ! ? ! I have a Grey X Whippet in Canada, and when the temperatures get -40 it doesn't bother her much.

    I'd go with the idea of visiting a shelter and waiting untill you fall in love with one that suits you. ( that's what happened to me )

    I'm very glad that you are thinking ahead! At least you are all settled and everything. I just hope you can take care of Alaska try to see if you can focus on that more and then you can focus on your furture dog for like in about 2-3years.

    I'm not going to get into the argument, but I will sugest breeds. Basenjis are a no unless you like yodeling and a VERY independant dog. They won't do anything they don't feel like. They are also sighthounds and cannot ever be trusted off leash. Other than that they are very clean and good dogs. The breed I would suggest is the Japanese Chin

    Okay. My sister came here first with the account MastiffCrazy10. She said she loved Neapolitan Mastiffs and everyone was asking if she had a mastiff so she said she did. She got carried away. When Karen found out she was lying and deleted her account, she created more and more and kept getting caught. Finally she admited it on her last account and left forever. She hasn't been back ever since. I didn't know she was lying until I came and saw all of her posts. I emailed Karen and asked if I would be blamed for my sister's actions and be "suspected" as her. She said no. So, I joined. And now I'm being blamed. She started trying to tell the truth but lying along the way.

    I don't know why my sister does the things she does
