Are you considering a small dog for
your household but aren't sure which
one is right for you?
Take time to explore our site. You'll find
honest information - what's good and what's
bad - about all the Toy breeds recognized by
the American Kennel Club (AKC).
We'll help you pick the best small dog no matter
what your lifestyle --
- you live in an apartment
- you want a companion for hikes
- you want a minimum of shedding
- you have allergies
- you have other pets
Just one caveat. With all the romantic garbage out there about how wonderful it is to get a dog from a shelter, please do some research and read my
7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About
Animal Shelters.
As an ex-breeder, certified canine specialist,
dog writer and dog person, I'll share everything
I've learned over the years.
For even more detailed information, order one of our
breed-specific Special Reports that tell you about
temperament, care and maintenance, potential health problems, where to buy your dog, and explain
puppy-lemon laws and much, much more.
Also, please visit our Discussion Board where you can
ask questions or share your experiences.
