Is The Same Breed Of Dog Better With Each Other And Is A 2nd Puppy A Good Idea?

I have a four month old Japanese Chin (female) and am considering getting another one. It has been difficult to find another chin that is about the same size as she will be (since she will be small around 5 lbs and some chins can get to 20 lbs). I’m wanting to get another one fairly soon, so they can get use to each other and grow up together. I’m having a hard time finding another chin, but am considering getting a papillon. I’m just concerned that a papillon might be a little more fiesty than she is. She is very laid back, likes to play, but likes to cuddle and sleep as well. She isn’t one of these puppies that bites and chews on everything. She is actually the perfect dog, already potty trained and everything.
Also, would a male or female be best to get since I have a little girl. I will get they spayed or neutered because I think they chin will be too small to have pups, plus I don’t want to breed. I’m worried that males will hike and try to ‘jump’ on my little female.

Can Someone Help With An Aggressive Dog?

Can someone please help? I have a small papillon and when you throw a toy, he picks up the toy and brings it back to you, if you pick him up while he’s playing with the toy he throws a fit and growls like crazy, he bares his teeth as well. He doesn’t listen when you firmly tell him no. Also when you pick him up he growls a bit as well.
He’s nine months old and likes biting as well. Has anyone got any other methods of training him? Does the mist bottle work?
I also don’t want to punish him too much if it’s just a phase.

Getting My 6 Month Old Puppy To Walk With A Leash?

I’ve had my 6-month old Papillon for a month now, and she’s making all the right strides when it comes to potty training, socializing, etc. The one big problem I am having is with a leash – whenever I put it on her she freezes, shakes a little and looks at me like I have a monster mask on. I’d love to take her for walks and get her out and about in the world, how do I get her to see that the leash is her friend and won’t harm her?

Trouble With Litter Training?

Hi,
We just (kind of) successfully litter trained our 3 year-old Papillon. However, the past two days when he’s been going to the bathroom, he’s been pooping outside of the litter box close to our toilet. He’ll pee in there though. I can’t really scold him, because I don’t catch him doing it, because he doesn’t like when we watch him (obviously) and I’m just happy he’s going in the bathroom. So, my question is, what could be the cause of this and how can I correct it? Thanks!

Is It Too Dangerous To Keep A Large Dog With A Much Smaller Dog?

Right now, I have a two year old Papillon. But I love the Great Danes breed and have been wanting one for several years. In the near future, I may move to a place where I am able to have a Dane.
It would of course go through some training on not how to be rough with people (or dogs) but, aside from the fact that it may be odd or funny looking, is there any danger of keeping dogs of two drastically different sizes?

What Has Your Experience Been With Your Papillon?

If you have, have had or know a Papillon, what has your experience with the breed been like? I have a 9 month old who I’ve had for 6 months. He’s wonderful and absolutely everything I could ask for- no bad habits, easy to train and very loyal and affectionate.
Also, does anyone know a good place online (other than cafepress) to get breed specific merchandise like decorations, clothes, etc.?
