Need Help finding puppy!
- Thread starter BeautifulSilence
- Start date
Read this thread http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4214 Particularly Mordy's advice.
my brother recently got a Italian Greyhound Puppy to do agility with.
They have extremly short thin coat (his puppy alreayd has three little sweaters he has to wear). They shed very little and produce almost no odor. The biggest they get is 8lbs and 15 in not too big at all really. It is a companion type dog and does not need excesive excersise and can do well in city areas. They can be shy though although my brothers Puppy is far from shy. its is thin boned though and a bit delicate.
Great dogs though.

Hmmm....well, I kinda need more info than 'good for people with allergies, doesn't bark, small in size, and needs to like strangers.' to be of more help.
What kind of activity level are you looking for?
What kind of trainability level?
Have you owned a dog before? If not, do you feel you could controll a more dominant dog like a Rottweiler?
How much grooming are you willing to do?
What age of kids will this dog come into contact with?
I'd stay away from the cock-a-poo and other poo and doodle "breeds". They are bred by Back Yard Breeders and since they don't have fixed genes, they can and most likely will shed. And hybrid vigor is nonsence.
So try to answer my questions and I'll see if I can help you out more.

And in addition:
How much time will you be spending with the pup per day?
Who will be the primary caregiver?
Does your family support you?
Do you have other animals in the house?
How much time will you be spending walking him/her?
Who will be cleaning up all the puppy messes? Pee, poo, things he chewed up...

Ok. So you don't want our help. You don't answer our questions. You are obviously not prepared to have a dog. You don't want to put time into your dog. Puppies are a lot of work. Do your research. Read past threads. Especially from BigDog and some of the other young members you got puppies.
I think I'm done.
