thanks :D I have decided against a dachshund, they just dont seem right for us. now on my list is maltese, carin terrier, and chinese crested. I think that is it lol. it changes all the time so its hard to keep track of. lol

thanks. I havent heard that yet.

I asked my guy about them and he said no. :roll: he is more picky than I am lol

one that isnt so barky would be best. we get enuf noise with my cockatiel screeming :roll: barking at intruders and strange noises is ok though. I would love to have a dog that is watchfull. I will be home from 3pm to 11pm by my self with my young son. I am a bit of a fraidy cat :oops:

I have heard that a few places about the mini pin, so consider that one marked off as well. umm what about the mini schnuazer?

well my list has changed again lol. its now chinese crested, larger chihuahua, maltese, miniature pinscher, and carin terrier. me and my boyfriend sat down last night and made a list of what we were looking for. we would like a smart easily trained dog under 20 lbs, and is good with kids.

american eskimoes, chihuahuas, maltese, rat terriers, pekeingse, dachshunds, or chinese cresteds? those are the dogs on my list now. me and my boyfriend sat down and made a list of what we wanted in a dog. smart, easily trained, under 20 lbs, and great with kids. probably a non shedder as well since he complained alot after I had our son, and my hair started comeing out lol. thanks guys :D

I belong to a poodle forum as well and they said a mini poodle would be better for us that a toy. but I also belong to a dachshund forum. I am also looking for a chinese crested forum. I find its much better to get info from a owner than from a book or a web site. they dont give you text book stuff, they give you actuall info. the highest I could pay for a dog is about 500$ so the more rare breeds are out I am afraid.

yea. if i decided on a chihuahua it would be a bigger chi. so far my faves are chinese cresteds, maltese, and the poodle

another reason I am going smaller is even thought I love the larger breeds I just cant handle them. I love the collie temperment, but just not there size. I took a good look at my self and realised I just coulnt handle the bigger dogs. I really really like collies, but I dont want to get a dog I cant handle. and my guy will be at work all day, well from 3pm to 11pm. I really thank you for your help though :D

lol. someone mentiond that dachshunds might be good for my family. what do you guys think? I heard they hurt there backs pretty easily. I have ruled out bichons, toy fox terriers, and perhaps rat terriers

I dont mind the grooming, its the exersize requerments. I am not a very active person at all

what do you meen ugly? in tempement or in looks? I was posting my last post as you were posting that lol

I forgott to add I am also looking into shih tzus, and mini poodles. I have such a long list dont I lol

I pmed you obedience. but I forgott to add that i would like to meet some crestedsin my area if you know of any :) also if any one with them are going to be at the marquett kennel club show over labor day weekend that would be willing to let me meet there cresteds.
