Oh I see. Are they pretty playful and loyal? I'd be worried about losing a teacup one though.


Yeah they seem to be pretty playful and they seem to get along with other dogs also for the most part. And for the tea cup ones you do have to watch out for cause people will just snatch them right up and not say anything if they see them just wondering around. And sometimes with the tea cup ones they can be born diabetics so that's another thing to watch out for if you buy one but it's extremely rare. We had it happen only twice in the last 8 years. If you do get one though i would get a female one if i was you there easier to train.

There are plenty of dogs just waiting to be adopted at your local shelter! im sure you can find a great companion there! Dont Shop Adopt!!
It dont matter what kind of dog you get, if its the right one that dog will be your best freind! :)

I think I got the dog when I was a kid from a shelter, but I'm not sure, is there a really big difference in buying one from a shelter and not?
Oh people just snatch them up? Why :(

Buying from a shelter the animals are always fixed and there usually mixed breeds when buying from them but usually cost about $45 to adopt around here that is . And tea cups usually get snatched up cause they can be worth up to almost $500 depending on where you live at. But if you got a fenced in yard and watch it most of the time it would be fine.

Oh I see. That's kind of nice about the shelter animals I guess and kind of scary about people just snatching dogs up. Do you know much about Havanese or Pugs?

Try a shih tzu, they're pretty fun and loyal in my experience.

Never seen a Havanese personally or know anyone that has one. And for pugs I had a friend that owned one for a few weeks but got rid of it. They seem to be good dogs but i know nothing about them. Maybe someone else on here can help you with those two ^_^
