Hands down.... You should get a miniature, toy or teacup poodle... they are sooo cute and very smart... another good breed would be a bischanfriese, they are good dogs too!!!

well first to you want a hyper dog or a relaxed dog? i would suggest a yorkie but they are a lot of maintenance. you have to get them groomed and all that. or you could get a short haired mini pincer.

A Mini dachshund though the standards rock!If raised and socialized properly ( ie NOT allowed to completely take over the household within five minutes of arrival and enjoy a triumphant decades long megalomanic reign though it may do that anway) you will enjoy being owned by a charming intelligent animal who will act as both a guard and lap dog!Regardless of what dog breed you acquire train the dog at an early age to accept and continue to accept you as the responsible alpha of your family/pack and slowly but gently socialize the dog by introducing it to a variety of different situatioons and ages and sizes of other dogs and humans.Be warned the minis are hounds with terrier traits ... they may fixate on certain toys or furnishings and will try to hunt!On no account copy that professional "stupid girl" as Pink put it, Paris Hilton, and get a chichihua just cos they're small and cute. A more ethical thing to do if you cant afford to go to a good breeder who breeds for stable personalities and not looks would be to get an older rescue dog, pure or cross breed, who needs a good home!Contact the local / state association /society for your breed and make sure the breeder is reputable.If buying from a pet store make sure they buy from reputable breeders and not puppy mills!

A little dachshund! I have 3 doxies and just love this breed. When my children were young we had dachshunds also. They love their family,very loyal, and very very loving. My red doxie is 6 1/2 pounds, she is the sweetest dog I have ever owned. My other dogs are males and such loving guys, they weigh 12 and 14 pounds. All of mine are smooth haired, my cousin has two long haired dachshund. They have same traits as mine but their hair catches leaves and needs freq brushing.You can not go wrong with dachshunds, you will fall in love with this breed.

Oh where to start!! I love chihuahuas, poodles (toy), pomeranians, yorkies, mini dobermans, etc. too many to list. I only suggest that you research the breeds and get to know as much as them as you can. Then make an educated decision on which would suite you best. For Ex: Lots of toy poodles have allergies (gets costly), Yorkies tend to bark alot (worth your sanity?) Jack Russells tend to be very hyper. Just research before you buy. You don't want to end up with a puppy you won't be happy with.

I have a Jack Russel Terrior/Chihuahua mix. As you can see in my picture here. It seems to be a wonderful mix. They are smart and not as neverous as chihushuas are. They are very loving and loyal to their person. They can be a bit high strung as puppies. But in all they are wonderful little dogs.Also there are Shitz Tsus, but they are high maintience. but wonderful dogs
