+++ I HAVE ALREADY DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THESE BREEDS , IM LOOKING FOR YOUR OPINION/PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ++
So as you guys may know I'll be adding a little baby to my family soon. I'll be living in an apartment. Im looking for a loving ,affectionate dog who will get really attached to me ( not to say that ANY dog wouldnt, but some are more independent, you know, a good lap dog who also loves to play.) So here are the breeds i'm looking at currently ;
1. Butterfly dog ( Papillon )
Friendly, intelligent is tougher than it looks, gentle affectionate, lively, vivacious and charming. Playful and amusing but can also be calm, patient, gentle and dignified. Steady and silent. Loves to be cuddled but also likes to romp outdoors. NOT A YAPPER
although they can be good city dogs, they are sometimes not good apartment dogs, because the dog has a strong instinct to protect their property, and many will bark excessively at nearby noises ( is this true? Should i be concerned )
I have had people tell me that the Pap accually is a good Apartment dog and really good for beginners ...
2. Chihuahua MIX
good companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, gives and demands affection . become very attached to their owners
Sounds great, but they are way too small for me, I saw an INCREDIBLE Mix at the shelter, it was about the size of a Beagle.
3. Yorkshire terrier
highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with its master
The Yorkie likes to bark, but it can easily be taught not to do so
my neighbor has one, and its so playful and loving, im in love =P
4. Chancy
