...what to get does anyone recommend any particular breeds?

My favorite is the Pekingese, however I wouldn't call them tiny. They are about 10-14 pounds. For the teeny tiny dogs, I like Yorkies and Poms.

Yorkies or Maltese are great small inside dogs.

West Highland White TerrierThey arent "tiny" to the point you can fit them in your purseBut they are quite small, and very darling.They're also good for people with allergies because they don't shed much.

if you're looking for an energetic dog you shoul get a lab. I think little poodles are just adoring!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love weiner dogs! i have have one and he is so lovable! he always sits on my lap and loves to snuggle under the covers at night! if u want something smaller then get either a pomeranian or a chihuahua.

lhasa apso. cute and cuddly.

well that totally depends on what you like..... Yorkshire Terriers are very cute I may get one soon myselfor the Chihuahua those come in different kinds in short or longhair.Malteses are nice but many have a tendency to bite.You should probably buy a dog book or look up small dogs.

Dachshunds are nice but they tend to suffer from back probs. Make sure you are prepared for any vets fees if you have a dog, they`re damned expensive!

A Jack Russel one of the best dogs I've ever had.
