    a chihuahua ... while st. bernards are beautiful dogs think of the drool, the fur, the giant poops, the pools of urine, the amount of food necessary to keep the thing alive ... a chihuahua is much more manageable ...

    Go to your local shelter and find a pet that needs a family. Ask advice from someone who works there about a pet that would fit into your life then spend some time with that dog before bringing him/her home.

    It depends on your lifestyle.

    .....................If you want a dog who...

    Is massive, heavy, and powerful, with a thick furry coat

    Is usually kind and steady-tempered with everyone

    Loves pulling carts and sleds and romping in cold weather

    Is responsive to training in a slow, good-natured way

    A Saint Bernard may be right for you.

    If you don't want to deal with...

    A very bulky dog who takes up a lot of space in your house and car

    A heavy dog who wants to sit on your feet and lean his weight against your leg

    Rowdiness and exuberant jumping when young

    Loneliness and destructiveness when left alone too much

    Fearfulness or aggression in some lines, or when not socialized enough

    Some stubbornness and/or dominance problems, especially in males

    Heavy shedding

    Slobbering and drooling

    Potential for serious health problems and a short lifespan

    A Saint Bernard may not be right for you.

    ..........................................If you want a dog who...

    Is small and easy to carry

    Comes in a variety of sizes, coats, and colors

    Is oh-so-funny and entertaining in quirky ways (hard to describe – you gotta be there!)

    Is very loyal

    Is a great traveler

    Doesn't need much exercise

    LOVES warmth

    Lives a long time

    A Chihuahua may be right for you.

    If you don't want to deal with...

    The fragility of toy breeds

    The fine line you need to walk with toy breeds, where you need to protect their safety, yet require them to stand on their own four feet and be well-behaved

    Notorious housebreaking difficulties

    Suspiciousness, shrillness, and highstrung temperaments in some lines, or when babied or spoiled or not socialized enough or made to behave

    A Chihuahua may not be right for you.
