Go to a shelter and get whatever small dog is there.

[chris]

talk girl into getting a real dog


I just find little dogs of little use

It only seems that way because you're a bachelor.  A small dog appeases his old lady's baby fever.  One less mouth to feed is one less mouth to feed, but if you gotta have an extra mouth a 5lb dog is cheaper than a 7lb baby.

jack Russell are fucking bad ass strong little shits but the ballerness of a white German Shepard is unsurpassed

Not a bad idea.

We have a Yorkshire terrier and a shih tzu  and there booth great dogs. I personally like small dogs better simply for the fact there a bit easier to deal with in an apt/rental situation and i just simply think yorkies are badass little dogs. (had 3 so far)

But Get w/e you find a good fit for your situation. there are tons of cool dogs out there.

[Jorsher]

I bought (adopted) a dog from the shelter, it died 3 months later.
brought the dog back to their vet 5 times and they kept saying nothing was wrong with her.
brought her to my vet and found out she had distemper, had to put her to sleep.

We went through hell to get that dog, we were treated like liars and criminals by the staff. they had to come out to my house to verify that we had a fence around our property and that our "landlord" was ok with it since i lived at my mothers house at the time ( i was 18, just started working).
jumped through hoops to rescue a shelter pet instead of buying a dog from a breeder. Never again.

There's a reason they checked all that stuff.  They're trying to make sure the dogs don't end up back at the shelter.  Switching homes frequently isn't good for the dog, so they try and get it right the first time.

As far as them being assholes, unless you're saying they were for verifying your situation, is the fault of the shelter.

All the dogs I grew up with were shelter dogs, all were fine.  Distemper is something the shelter should have vaccinated them for.  Breeders, for the most part, don't give a fuck because they don't give a fuck, and your expensive dog is the result of not giving a fuck.  Ultimately, shelter/breeder dogs come from the same place.

[colt45]

not the white one.  i got two short hair black and brown dachshund's.  they love the shit out of you, and your family.  almost attack anyone else. not good with small children, and they deserve the spiked collars because they dont shit from anyone.

i say Jack Russel, fuckers were bred to go down in fox holes and tear those fuckers up.
my roommate has one, i think around 15lbs, the short hair type. cool dog that fucking hates rabbits/squirrels/other small fluffy shit. he routinely chases down rabbits and kills them. has yet to get a squirrel.

Had a similar experience here with one of my dogs.  Shelter at first wouldn't let us get the dog we wanted because it wasn't a "good fit" as our first dog. The place even lie to us and said the dog was no longer there. They then proceeded to make us wait forever to adopt an older dog, which you would think they would want to give away to anyone with a home and a job...

Second time I adopted a dog was from a different place, they let me pay for the dog on the spot and pick her up after the 7 day waiting period was up (to make sure no one came to claim her).

We have two beagle mixes, they get my vote for "smaller" dogs.  You just need to always have them on a leash or have a good fence lol. 

FYI depending on your living arrangements having a dog that goes nuts for small animals can get annoying lol.  I live in a condo with a shared yard so having the dog freak out over squirrels sometimes gets old.


Also, you can be breed-picky and still adopt the dog.  There are plenty of online sites that let you search by breed, age, etc.

So it is safe to surmise that nig nog dog is not of a "pure" bloodline?

[90boostdaccord]

I got a mini Australian shepherd about 8 months ago.  Best dog i've ever owned.  super smart, and great with my kids.  she's about full size now, and she's 18" tall, about 25 lbs.  red merle in color with one blue eye and one green.

[j.h.christ]

How small?


Your in la county and brown so maybe a female pit/pit mix runt.


Staffordshire Bull Terrier are freakin tiny I like to call them pocket pits. Guy down the street has one little female cant be more than 30 pounds.

this

my shelter pit mix is the best dog i've ever had or heard of. will let toddlers use him as a jungle gym or rip your face off if i tell him to. doesn't bark, housebroken, plays fetch all day, and guards my nieces at the park. never have to leash him, he's goddamn perfect. i wish i could find a woman as loyal, i'd marry her in an instant. best 75$ i've ever spent.

Yes.  Neither one is.  Jeb, the first one we stole from Erin's cousin because he was running around outside at 5 months by himself next to a busy 2 lane each way highway.  She went to the mall supposedly which is 20 minutes away.  Fuck her, I put him in the truck and went down the road.
a

Stevie, nig nog dog #2 is a rescue dog from a local foster program.  Got him at Petsmart when he was about 20lbs, now he's 50ish and he regularly diesels Jeb around the yard who is 90.  He's blind in his right eye and mostly blind in his other and his skull is crushed and dented in on one side, probably from being thrown from a car.  They found him in a ditch.  He's the best dog ever and a great alarm dog too.  If he hears anything out of the ordinary he lets you know.  Somehow he manages to chase rabbits at night which I don't understand seeing as how he has limited vision out of one eye.

I will never get a dog from a breeder.

crazy cat lady that worked at the shelter: do you have a gate?
Me: No.
crazy cat lady: you don't have a 5-6' gate?
Me: do you mean a fence?
crazy cat lady: YES!!! A FENCE OR A GATE AROUND YOUR YARD.
Me: I have a 6' fence around my yard, but there are no gates. the only access point is the back door of my house.
crazy cat lady: WHY ARE YOU LYING TO ME, WE SHOULDN'T EVEN GIVE YOU A DOG. WE NEED TO SEND SOMEONE OUT THERE TO VERIFY YOU HAVE A GATE!!!
Me: I don't have a gate.

in the 10 days it took them to send someone out, the pure bred husky i wanted was no longer there.
I looked at the other dogs and fell in love with a something/shep mix.
same crazy cat lady: the one you wanted isn't here anymore and you pick another dog in 10 mins.
this time i just went inside and talked to someone else.

You're still saying they're fail due to one incident.  I don't think all white people are thieves because one stole from me.  We all know who the real thieves are!11

[7808]

any cat-sized dog is just worthless and anoying.  those shiba inu dogs are pretty cool though kind like a small chow/sled dog breed, not shitsu size or anything. 

my favorite breed is boxer/pit 

like my lucy


only issue is she hates anyone she doesnt know and shes super protective of me and anyone else she considers her pack

[TheMadScientist]

Yorkie's they're small, they have hair instead of fur, haven't seen one that was yippy at all. They also like to play and are plenty small. Also in Socal they should be easy to find.

[MTZ]

australian cattle dogs aka red/blue heelers are the shit. medium size cool as shit, mad energetic when you need them to. not destructive i have 2 inside heelers and they are perfect

I work on the road year round. woman came with and wanted a companion while i was at work all day. Ended up getting a yorky-poodle from a friend. I was under the impression this thing was going to be a pain in the arse. Not the case. Real easy going dog. He minds his own business most the time. Then when you wanna play he is all game! He does well in the car (unlike my mothers shitzu-poodle).

[jabberwock]

No to any kind of poodle.  I dont care where they rank on intelligence rankings.. they are fucking retarded.

Its probably because you look like a scum bag. I went to the shelter with my ex and they were practically telling me to take one home, when we were just there to look.

[Joseph Davis]

I don't look like a scum bag, what I looked like was korean

Well, that explains everything.

[hondadude_rudo]

wife and i have an english red nose pit, and all she does is eat, sleep and shit. he is about half the size of a full grown american pit. wanna say 35ish lbs last time she was at the vet, and we also have a quite properly named min pin/ yorkie mix. his name is turbo lol. i can honestly say ive never liked small dogs until him. all my friends think hes awesome. has the coloring of a doberman and the shape of a yorkie without all of the hair. he is super obediant, and playful. he will get wired when playing around, and all i gotta do is say calm down and he will stop and just sit there. idk, maybe we just got an odd one, or maybe those mutts are just that cool lol

Who the fuck are you and where is your noob post?

[imburne]

My wife fell in love with the shiva so currently looking for one or a another Bengal cat.

Does anyone know what this one is?

[jabberwock]

Shiba shep mix?

[7808]

might be an akita .   there fuckin cool lookin

[jarebear667]

did you get anything?

[imburne]

Well my wife fell in love with the shiba inu and when she asked her friend (the landlord) she replied no because it was an Akita mix which is a hunter dog and on the home owners insurance top ten dangerous dogs list. Thankfully it was enough to motivate her into really wanting our own house, which we are looking into now.

I ended up bartering a site for a snow Bengal. Fully papered and is real good with everyone.
I cleared out all the vids and pics on my phone so this is the only pic I have of her at the moment.

She still plans of getting the shiba when we move though.
