I have to boys 7 and 11 and one med sized dog, 11 months. I want to get a smaller dog, like a Bichon or some sort of fuzzy, curly mix. What would be a good dog to keep up with the kids and the other dog?
I know!!
I know of a 15 pounder, tabby colored, long tail. Meows instead of barks. He has the softest fur and he piddles to say I love you! How can you resist? His name is Mic the dog
I love my Westie rescue!!
We have one rescue, and we love him dearly. Problem, it was $400 to adopt him! I keep looking on craigslist, but I think everyone is nuts on there! I want a small pooch, my cuddle dog, but has to keep up with our shepherd/Rott mix.
that's what I was gonna say............ a rescue dog :bliss:
maybe visit out your local shelter..... ya never know..... the right doggie just might pick YOU ! ♥
I bet you trained yours. My Mom didn't. She has 3 Westies. They're crazy! They bark at everything and jump like crazy. Their nails hurt! :surrender: Oh and they don't like other dogs.........can't stand those damned dogs.
Still trying :giggles:
He is a barker, but we are working on it. He only jumps over my head when he is super excited or we are practicing jumping (both involve treats LOL). He does not like other dogs except for one but our neighbors got rid of it out:
Are they notorious for not liking other dogs? I thought it was just him because our old neighbor's dog had his way with him before we could stop him :surrender:
I dunno. :9: The worst has to be the jumping up on people when they come in the house and barking until you're deaf for like 20 min. And my Mom thinks it's cute and gets mad when I push them down. When my youngest son was younger, I had to carry him into the house so they couldn't hurt him and put him on the kitchen counter until they calmed down. He would cry out of fear of them. I've had soooo many nearly bloody scratches on my legs from their jumping. My Mom just stands there. I FINALLY got her to put 2 (males) of her 4 dogs (one is a Yorkie) in their cages when we come over. She thinks I'm cold because I don't like them.
I have to cut our visits short (they live an hour away) because I won't leave Sadie alone for more than 6 hours and I can't bring her because her dogs would attack! My Sadie gurl is the sweetest thing that couldn't care less if she's around dogs.
They are pretty dogs. I will have to look more into the breed. Any info you can supply would be great.Cavs are great lap dogs and get along with other dogs well.
My breeder is also involved with cavalier rescue....might be a good option for ya.
A place to debate everything and anything!
