What is the best dog2007-11-25 2:51:53

ok, so my golden retriever died about a year and half ago, and i am now ready for another dog. This time though i would like to get a smaller dog. I am looking for a dog btn 10 and 30 pounds, so on the smaller size. The dog should be easily trainable, good perky personality, shorter coat, and on the softer side as well, no coarse coats, good with kids, other dogs and cats. Mix or pure breed is ok. If possible have a very similar personality to that of a Golden Retrevier. So far i have been looking at norwichs, but there coat is a little coarse, also westies, i love the look of the shiba inu but i have heard that they very difficult to train overall, with some excepts. A dog about the shiba inu's size with personality like a golden retreiver would be great.

i have a Yorkie/westie see the photo a complete bundle of fun and very loving so in my eyes my little hybrid is the best the reason i got him was because i like both breeds and couldn't make up my mind and yes he has the nature of both breeds so I'm lucky

I like the Shibas, but they can be stubborn. Look into Whippets. I groom, a lot of groomers own whippets: because they are sweet, short haired, smart, generally quiet (generally),and get along with other dogs (but they can be rough on a toy breed).

I would like to suggest that you follow my course of action. GO TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY. There are so many loving animals there that are looking for homes. Most of them are not only good with people but with children and other pets as well. My last "child" came from the shelter, he came with a check list from the previous Owner the detailed how he was around kids, other pets, house training and other information.
