Maybe a Yorkshire Terrier, as they are hyper too, so your Border Collie won't really tire it out.

Maybe..

Shih Tzu

Maltese

West Highland White Terriers

Yorkshire Terriers

Lhasa Apso

Coton De Tular

Border terrier

Answer 4

I think you should go to your local shelter and adopt a dog. Many times you can even find pure breeds.

Answer 5

Please don't keep a puppy in a box all day. Studies have shown that prolonged crating causes physical and emotional harm.

Check your local shelter for a small dog, but please don't keep the puppy in a box.

Answer 6

Just about any breed can be crate trained.   Lhasa Apso is a good 'meduim-small' dog.  Research very carefully.  Also consider mixed breeds, there are plenty in shelters and rescues that need good homes.

it also depends on how well your Border Collie gets along with other animals.

Do your parents know you are going to ask for one?  Is your dad on board with being the one to let it out during the day?

Consider adopting a dog instead of getting a new puppy.  If you search carefully you can find them already trained and who already know how to behave in a house.  Petfinder.com lists many right in your area.  A dog rather than a puppy would be slightly less work and so might help get your parents to agree to one.

Answer 7

Shih Tzu, I have one and it does very well with being kennel trained. Just try not to keep him/her in a box all day. It could become mean.  

Answer 8

Go to http://www.petfinder.com and look for dogs in your area.  Adopt and save a life

Answer 9

COTON du Tulear

Answer 10

Maltese.

Answer 11

Ummm if u arent gonna b home to train and care for the dog.  Then it is best not to get one.  The dog would not have a very happy life.  Maybe when you have more time to spend with the dog.  A dog should not be bought if you are PLANNING to keep it in the kennel all day, then getting out just to go to the bathroom.  Sorry :[

But best bet is not 2 get one.  The dog could also become mean without lots of human contact.  It would also be very aggressive due to lack of exercise.  :[
