Papillon?

Back on topic - could you not talk her into a border collie?

My wife likes them and am sure we'll probably end up getting one eventually

Requirements:

Must be tiny. The smaller it is, the better she'd prefer it.
Must not be massively expensive.
Must not be so annoying a boxer is likely to eat it.
Must allow for dribble and play from aforementioned boxer.
Must not be bitey around young kids.

Preferences:

Cuteness rolleyes: )
Less propensity to shed

It doesn't have to be a pedigree.

The three main contenders are a chihuahua, a tea cup Yorkshire Terrier or a Pugalier.

Suggestions?

A stuffed snoopy toy.

Jsut get a jack Russell, it'll look cute and acceptable as a puppy and she will unexpect it to turn in to a little beast that you can both admire.

A Pug.

They are so ugly they become cute, if you know what I mean

English Toy Terrier? They can vary in size quite a lot though. Kind of like a mini-doberman crossed with a whippet. The breed standard is about 10"-12" to the shoulder, but ours is about 15".

Pomeranian?? Great little dogs, GF got a pup in December last year.

They look like this,

A friend has one of these, first time I saw it I was absolutely gobsmacked - smallest dog I have ever seen - almost like something from a Rick Moranis film!

National pride!!

I say a pug. They look like nice dogs.

And you can abuse them with star wars costumes.

Thats as cool as you can get, except for a Boxer.

And they're brilliant for... Pug Bowling.

Border terrier

camels5 · 7 Mar 2008 at 09:44

Boston Terrier are well known for thinking like they are a big dog and they look a bit like mini Boxers.
We also had a Tibetan Terrier who could easily hold her own among much bigger dogs.

If you are not fussy about pedigree Please go to a rescue centre.

Oppps sorry meant Tibetan Spaniel!!
