What sort of small dog would suit this requirement?

Sounds a lot like the perfect dog for her is a poodle... lol

Easy going personality, tends to get on with cats, dogs and other humans
Prefer non shedding dog
Not demanding or highly strung
Highly trainable for obedience
Small cute dog that fits easily into one of those dog carry bags

I'm a cat person myself, but I thought it would be fun looking into this as I loved learning about cat breeds. Also, I always thought that one day I might have a little dog myself. Hubby likes big dogs, but small dogs seem so much more transportable and seem to be easier to maintain (There is less of them). I'll start to look around the internet but any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks

Hi, I have a Chihuahua. She is 4 mos. old now, she doesn't shed, or bark to much if at all. I live in a townhouse and she seems to be perfect for me. She weighs 3 lbs, but she should grow to be 4-5 lbs. She sleeps with me every night just curled up under my blankets. It is so cute. She loves being with me. I have never had a Chi before, but this is the breed I would have from now on.
