  1. I have a Boston Terrier. She is the most wonderful baby! I have never had a dog as smart or as loving. They are a pretty lazy breed and like to nap. they do have energy burst's but they don't last long. Good with kids and other animals. They aren't really small small though. They average between 15 and 25 pounds, any smaller and you will run into genetic defects.

    They are not really a true Terrier though. they are a cross between many different types of Bull dogs, but were first crossed on an Engilsh Terrier. They are truly a Terrier only in name.

    Good Luck!


  2. alaskan klee kai are a bit rare, finding a breeder in your area would be difficult. If i was you, i would pick something opposite of a chihuahua and go with something hairy like a pomeranian or different like a french bulldog.

  3. I've got two Pugs. They are great with other little dogs.  Pugs just go with the flow.

  4. Yes I own pomeranians and they get along with other dogs if they are raised with them.  That is pretty true of most breeds though.  But yes, poms get along with other dogs.  They are delightful little dogs, very happy and confident all the time.  You just need to teach them when they are puppies not to bark and they need to understand that they are NOT the dominant one, that humans are dominant.    

    I know some people will disagree, but I would be very careful about getting any type of terrier if you have another small dog.  Terriers are very feisty and will attack just about anything smaller than themselves, and sometimes even things that are much larger.  They were bred to kill vermin and smallish creatures and that instinct is still very strong in most terrier breeds (including a french bullie).  So just be careful of that.  

    j*p Chin is an excellent choice if you are wanting a calm lap puppy.  They were bred to totally just sit in your lap.  The toy spaniel is also a pretty calm, good lap dog.  

    Paps and the AK Klee Kai I don't know too much about, sorry.

    Good luck with your choice.


  5. pugs

  6. I own a papillon. Here's some information about their good and bad traits:

    Most dogs will be dog-friendly if properly socialized.

  7. I own a Japanese Chin. She is the best, i usually hate toy breed dogs but i love Japanese Chins.They bark very little unlike most toy breeds and also they need very little grooming I do it all. My chin gets a bath once a week, gets brushed 3 times or more a week, and i cut her hair short once a year for summer. Hannah has the best personality she love people. She doesn't really like other dogs that much but if she knows them shes fine. Japanese Chins are truly the best toy breed.

    Good luck! If you would like to email me my email is japanesechinmommy@yahoo.com

  8. I own multiple Alaskan Klee Kai.  They are dog friendly and have gotten along with many breeds.  the only breed that I see them NOT get along with  frequently is Pitts.  For some reason I have seen multiple AKK go after APBTs.
