breeds but wish to downsize? The couple has owned Golden retrievers for many years but now due to an injruy they are unable to care for such a large and strong breed.

Cavalier King Charles they are sweet and have a great disposition and love to cuddle and are very easy to train.

I like cocker spaniels, but they need exercise. Maltese are great dogs.-MM

Any small dog like a yorkie or king charles spaniel. You shouldn't focus as much on the breed as the individual dog. Most smaller dogs tend to be more yappy so it's good to keep that in mind and a puppy would take time and energy. Adoption would be a good idea as the people working there have a relationship with the animal and can give you information about each animal someone else may not be able to. A lot of shelter dogs already come housetrained (some get crate-trained and obedience trained) and with shots and vaccinations. You can log on to www.petfinder.org to find a dog in your area and www.petsmart.cm has breed guides so you can narrow down your search to what you want in a dog.

yorkie, lab, boxer, any dog that is well behaved and house trained

They Could Go To The Pound And Adopt An Unloved Dog , Give It A Great Life , That Would Be The Best Instead Of Buying A Puppy , Its Really Expensive Now-a-days For A Dog , And Hard To Train , So They Could Get One Already Trained , Thats What I Would Do If I Was Their Age

i would suggest a schnoodle or a Shitzu or a Yorkie
