What small dog breed is the best as an indoor pet?


dog
jempast asked:


I am thinking of getting another dog. I have a female dog that will be 3 in Feb. 2008 and I was wondering what small dog breed would be a good companion for her. My dog is very friendly and playful towards other dogs. I live in an apartment so the dog would only be able to go out when my husband & I take her on walks. I am wanting a female dog. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what breed would be a good breed to get? I am wanting a dog that would be no bigger than 15 lbs. when fully grown.

    I just adopted a Chinese Crested female. She is the perfect house dog.

    Google them and you will see.

    Check petfinder.org and adopt a homeless dog. Bobbie F

    Go to your local animal shelter, Humane Society, SPCA and adopt an adult, fully grown dog with a known personality, that way you get exactly what you want and save a dog from being homeless.

    Think about it, total win/win situation. rescue member

    ankle bitters are not good to keep in side for long times so if you have a dog and she in nice DO NOT GET AN ankle bitter…

    My sister did internet research and found out that Shitzus are rated the best family pet. They were bred specifically for companionship and nothing else. King TootinCommonSense

    A Bichon Frise is a fabulous dog to have indoors. They don’t shed hair and are very friendly. They are a small dog just what you are looking for. Good luck. If you do get one of these I will throw in a lovely name for her as well, how about “Shiloh”. anne.painter
