What is a good, small to medium sized dog, that has short & smooth hair?

If you are looking for short hair so it doesn't shed then then definetly a terrier or a pug. I have a shih tzu who has long hair but does not shed at all. She is the sweetest thing loves to kiss and cuddle and loves other people without yapping all the time.

I think you need to realize every breed of dog has there own individual problem. Yorkies are hard to housebreak. Beagles howl and are a hound dog so they smell like a hound dog. Dachshunds frequently have back problems. I think a Poodle, who doesn't shed and is one of the smartest dogs would be a good choice. I also like West Highland Terriers, "Westies". Very good natured. Bichon Frise is a great dog with a good personality but needs to be groomed regularly as does a poodle. Go to the library and look up different breeds, each have there own distinctive trates. See what kind of dog will fit in your family. Of course, there is always your local animal rescue league or shelter with many dogs needing homes. Sometimes these 57 Heinz variety dogs are the best of all. Good Luck with your search.

A Whippet. They are loyal and will have only one master or mistress. A female Whippet will protect you even if she is in danger. Mine was 13 years when she died and she was my dog only. Would tolerate other people but look at me always for directions/instructions. She once took on an Alsatian because he had her ball in the park. The Alsatian let go of her but she came back and had another go. I was in the middle but in no danger with my dog there. Good luck.

Boston Terrier

Boston Terrier

a Maltese Terrier, they have white hair that you can grow to any length depending on what you prefer and a beautifil curled tail which their heair just hangs off. They're perfect lap dogs and inside pets. I have one who is 10 years old right now and everybody loves her. but a down side to Matesers is they may have teeth problems.

I would suggest an Italian Greyhound or a Whippet, but whether they get along with other dogs depends on the specific dog-you'll want to ask about that when you're looking for one.

Any and each breed could be knowledgeable to get alongside with cats and youngsters. each and every breed of dogs sheds no count number what. laying off could be controlled through a mind-blowing weight loss application and accepted grooming so why no longer in basic terms rescue a mutt? I rescued the two one in each and every of my toddlers and that they are the two mutts. blended breed canines are the final. they are soo unique and perfect and you may circumvent most of the genetic issues recent in organic bread canines that are created through inbreeding and over breeding. Plus, over 2 MILLION pets are euthanized each and each 12 months and there are thousands and thousands greater locked in cages looking forward to a similar destiny. I rescued my mutts from the pound and that they are no longer something wanting a miracle and that they create soo lots new intending to my life each and every day!! i think of they understand that I saved their lives and gave them a 2nd possibility while no one else could. in the previous you adult adult males make a determination on a dogs, bypass to a pair shelters and notice in case you additionally could make that magical connection and supply a dogs a 2nd shot at life! better of success and that i desire you hit upon your domestic dog soul mate!!

Try a beagle if you like lovable dogs or a lab a bit big but very cute
