Do you wish dogs would stay small and cute forever?

I do too! If you want to get a dog that stays small and looks like a puppy, miniature Terriers are great! They are so small and sweet!

Dogs that stay small and cute forever?

Me and my family are looking for a dog, we prefer a samll dog .puppys are cute but they can grow to be big.
i already know about dachaunds,chiwawas..(i dont know how to spell that)...but thres also one i really want to get the breed of. they stay super samll and i think like celebs must have it. thats not why i want it i just want to find a good breed,\

im not one of those paris hilton wannbes and are going around buying teeny tiny dogs to carry around as if they are an accessorie. <- not me. just thought i should tha people know before they go all crazy oon me. i know responsibilties. right know i want to know ALL the types of breeds that stay small dogs.

Your best bet would be to get any dog that is considered a part of the "toy" group (this includes chihuahuas)

here is a listing of the breeds considered a part of this group by the AKC:

- Affenpinscher
- Brussels Griffon
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- Chihuahua
- Chinese Crested
- Engllish Toy Spaniel
- Havanese
- Italian Greyhound
- Japanese Chin
- Maltese
- Manchester Terrier
- Miniature Pinscher
- Papillon
- Pekingese
- Pomeranian
- Poodle (toy)
- Pug
- Shih Tzu
- Silky Terrier
- Toy Fox Terrier
- Yorkshire Terrier (yorkie)

The only dogs of these that i have had a great deal of experience with are the C. king Charles Spaniel, the Chihuahua, the Italian Greyhound, Maltese, Min. Pinscher, Pomeranian, Poodle, Pug, Shih Tzu, and Yorkie.

Min. Pinschers can be a little 'testy' sometimes (most of the ones i have dealt with are pretty nasty. The Italian Greyhound is probably my favorite of all of these, but may be a little pricey. Yorkies are always good dogs, but may require grooming.

I definatly recommend that you look into any of these breeds and research the ones you are interested in before purchasing a dog. Good luck!

My girl thinks this dog is cute.

My girl thinks this dog is cute. She wants to save it from a shelter. Ooof. That is the ugliest dog ever.

When I introduced my older Golden to my yonger one

When I introduced my older Golden to my yonger one, i put the younger one in an enclosed area with thise folding gate like things. After a while, the older was comming up to the edge of the encloser and the two were touching noses and batting at eachother's paws. Then I took the little one out of it's area, and the two immidiatly got along. Remember to watch the whole prosses, incase something goes wrong, and be sure to give the older lots of individual attention. Good Luck!!

since puppy was taken from its littermates

since puppy was taken from its littermates and mother too early - it has missed out on very important socializing -- so when your adult dogs tries to let it know it doesn;t want to play - the pup doesn't understand ( because it was removed from its mom etc. too early) just monitor them and make sure the pup isn't pestering the adult too much... they will grow to be good friends i am sure

I've been going through this myself...

I've been going through this myself...I have a 12 1/2 year old lab and just introduced a 8 week (Now 11 week) old Australian Shepherd.

All I can say is give it time. If they're getting along outside, that's a good sign. Make sure they're always supervised when they're together and if the older dog shows aggression, tell him no.

Also, make sure the older dog is getting "Special" attention apart from the puppy. Give it a special treat, or take it for a nice long walk without the puppy in tow.

It's been almost 4 weeks since I brought the little one home and my 2 are getting along fine now.
