Thanks for all of your replies. I work at hoem so grooming, playing, and training should be no problem to me. I have thought about it, I may want a smaller breed. A house dog more like. I have this small yard, seems like the people who lived here before had a dog, so it's already set up for a small one. I have had a German Shepherd before and she was the sweetest dog, but she was an outdoor dog. She was protective of us, my sister and me. She was around Beagles, so instead of barking, she would howl. It's a crazy sound! What is your opinion on a Pomaranian?
