What kind of dog breed would you suggest that stays very small. We have a house with allot of vases and decoration and leather couches. My friend has a Tabby cat and he is no trouble at all and he does not go onto beds or couches he has his own little space with a rocking chair he loves to sleep on. I still want a dog but not let the dog make the whole house as its own house. If you what i mean? That is why i like a small dog that stays very small so it wont distruct the house. Im really not sure. Please Help.
One of my other freinds has a dog and he is medium sized and their house is really dirty i couldnt even stay in there nor live. Im guessing they dont clean their house or the dog is really a handful. Where would you suggest going somewhere to just bond with a dog and see if you like it? That would kind of help. Thank you for your answers.
What would be a small little dog that a 12 year old can handle?
Answer
Tough to say. I've seen little dogs do incredible amounts of damage and I have two large dogs that haven't damaged anything in the house.
My friend's miniature dachshund chewed the living daylights out their new expensive kitchen cabinetry. He has scratched furniture and done a lot of damage. Little dogs are lap dogs and expect to get on furniture. They think it is their right.
I have two big goldens and all I contend with is hair. They chew their own toys, sleep on their own beds are trained to stay off the furniture and out of the kitchen. It was our cat that caused a scratch on some cabinetry that he shouldn't have been on.
If you get a little or a big dog, training is critical. I recommend crate training when you can't supervise for both housebreaking and to prevent damage.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The friend with a medium sized dog and a dirty house is just a bad housekeeper. As I said, I spend a fair amount of time picking up dog hair. My house is clean and does not smell like dog. My dogs are bathed and groomed regularly and I clean regularly. I'm a fuss and couldn't stand a dirty house. So it's the friend, not the dog.
I suggest a non-shedding breed for you if hair is a concern. you will need to get the dog groomed every 4-6 weeks, but hair in the house won't be a problem. Check out shih tzus, and poodles. Skip bichons - they are notoriously hard to housebreak and keeping the house clean seems to be a big deal for you. And as I said before, do crate training to avoid destruction.
To have pets you have to accept that accidents happen, shedding happens, stuff happens. I need to have a clean house but don't freak out over the little things. I just get out the vacuum or whatever. The joy of having the pet outweighs the inconveniences.

Thoughts on underground fences for dogs..comments on crating..Boxer breed info?
Pretty
I met a gorgeous boxer at the shelter. She's the sweetest thing I've ever seen! I have 6 indoor cats and was thinking of adopting her and putting the underground fence around my backyard (which is about a half acre) so she could play outside during the day. I'm not too excited about keeping her crated all day. Any special info you have on boxers would be appreciated. Any input would be helpful if you know anything about the things I mentioned.
Answer
The underground fences aren't safe.
What if the current has a break in it?
Or
What if strange dogs come into your yard and attack your dog. Sure your dog will be inside the fence but, another dog can come into the yard and attack your dog. Your dog is not safe with the invisible fences.
You shouldn't leave a dog outside all day anyway. That is what leads to problems. Such as barking all day long. Also what if someone steals your dog? Or taunts the dog? Dog thefts are rising and not only do people steal out of yards, they break into houses to steal dogs..
