Check out this dog breed info page and I am sure you will be able to find out more too.
Take your time. Even when you have found the breed, talk to breeder, veterinarians on the health issues. The breeders are great, because they really know their breed to help you.
Think about the grooming you are willing to do or pay a groomer to do it for you. It’s not that cheap.
Any of the breeds that you picked do shed. I have enjoyed working with the corgi (do you have something for them to herd?) Any of these dogs can be aggressive if they are not trained and socialized.
You mentioned the papillon and I have really enjoyed these little dogs in classes. Their attention span is exceptional. They enjoy working or playing with their owners and are easlily trainable.They excel in obedience, agility and flyball. You would be able to groom them yourself.
When you are looking at a litter, don’t go by what the puppy looks like. Don’t get it because it was the cutiest one. It’s going to be a feeling you get when you are holding each one. What connection are you getting from the puppy. Maybe a breeder will let you come over and just spend time with them and talk to them at lengths about the breed. Also on yahoogroups you can get on group of the different breeds and listen and ask every question, no matter how unimportant you think that question is. You will have this dog for 14-15 years.
As for the children, you will just have to educate them on how to handle the puppy, and educate your puppy on how to be around children.
I think an ankle biter crossbreed would work. Talk to an adoption counselor at the shelther and they’ll interrogate you on what you want, your lifestyle, etc. They should help you decide and make a perfect match.
Why don’t you save a pet? There are so many great dogs at the local shelters and many of every breed that all need to be loved and adopted. You would be doing all dogs in this world justice by getting one of them before they are put down.
Check them out, go on line…
Check into this breed. It’s called a “Brittany Spaniel”. I work in a vets office and from what i’ve heard and seen they are a really good small dog to have around kids. They are pretty sturdy too so the small kids should be ok. The kids, though, should be taught how to handle a puppy/dog so as to not harm or scare the dog. Let us know what happens and do lots of research. Don’t go with a breed that looks “cute”. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/brittany.htm
well, do you want high maintenance dogs? schnauzers, poodles, maltese, yorkies, all high maintenance dogs who need grooming every 6-8 weeks, around $30-40 dollars, can be more depending on where you live. i have mine done every 6-8 weeks. it gets pretty costly. low maintenance dogs are the smooth coated dachshound (spelled wrong, i think), the pappion is also less maintenance than you would think. chihuahua’s are also low maintenance. fox terriers, the smooth coat ones are low maintenance, not sure of the wire haired ones. king charles spaniels have a lot of inherited diseases, so be careful there. boston terrier might be a good choice also. you could go to the library and get an encyclopedia of dog breeds and do some research on the different breed and narrow it down to what you are looking for like temperment, grooming, shedding, how big it gets, etc. good luck.
jack russel, they are very smart and good with all people and animals. they are small too. i love those dogs!!! hope you find one!
If you opt to go with a pure bred dog, my vote would be Maltese. They are small, cute, loving, loyal, and do not shed. My Maltese is now 4 years old. He was relatively easy to train, and has been around my 3 year old niece since she was born. He loves to lick her, but has never tried to bite her. In fact, they are the best of friends, although we sometimes have to make sure she doesn’t try to hug him too hard. I would be lost without my little lap buddy. Good luck, and congratulations!
Chihuahua
King Charles they’re brilliant with people but do like to chase birds , and i think that there is still a law, in England anyway , that they can’t be refused access to any public place!but i think your American so that wont apply!
You will have better luck with an adult dog getting along with kids than puppies. Pups want to bite and chew and wrestle anything they percieve to be another puppy. Small children included. Take your time visit the potential dogs several times. With kids, without kids, in the shelter, in the play areas, ask if a staff member or volunteer will go with you to walk them outside. This the best way to chose a dog. Puppies need 2 YEARS of training and hard work to get to the loveble well behaved adult you want AT LEAST!
Get a yorkie. They do not shed, are not hyper and are excellent with children. Yes, they can be a little harder to house train…but I am sure you will have plenty of time to take up with a dog if your mom agreed. I have a 3yr old female yorkie, she weighs 6lbs and is very smart. She sits, shakes, lays, rolls over, speak and knows 4 of her toys by name. Very easy to teach tricks.
papillon is your best bet they are on the top 10 smartest dogs andis easy to train, not sure if they are good with kids
Cocker Spaniels are mean, My mom haves one and shes the sweetest thing ever, She gets long with my pug and other dogs, and loves my son
Pugs are also good with people …
Jack Russels are very hyper and enoying
MINIATURE SCHNAUZER!!!
