We Might Be Crazy – Dog Crazy That is!
March 15, 2009 at 2:49 pm | In Chit Chat | 3 CommentsFor about a year now our son (who is an only child) has been asking us for a puppy and up until about 2 months ago I was always quick to say “no way!”
But recently…I have been getting the itch myself and have slowly and very quietly started looking for a breed of dog that might be the perfect fit for us. Or more honest a perfect fit for Connor because I think he needs a buddy around the house. We want a small dog. We want a dog that doesn’t shed. We want a dog that doesn’t “eat us out of the house at home” and we want a dog that isn’t hyperactive or too aggressive. It seemed like a lot to ask for and then I stumbled upon a breeder here in our hometown who breeds a mix of poodle, maltese, yorkie and long hair chihauhau’s. Similar to a Maltipoo her dogs stay under 10 lbs and they don’t shed. Great for families with allergies and calm families like ours. I mean seriously just look at this face:
So…today we went to look at the dogs. They were actually already sold and reserved but we fell in love! They were playful but lovable and very calm (even for 8 month old puppies.) Connor actually started crying when we couldn’t take one home even though we explained to him in advance that we would have to wait until the next liter is available!
Seriously we might be losing our minds but I think we are ready to add to our family! Waiting will probably be the hardest part now.

Hi! You are right, that is an adorable face. However I have another breed to suggest to you, it’s called Havanese. They don’t shed, are wonderful with children, smart, extremely playful… you should look into this breed at http://www.akc.org. To have a look at my group please visit my website at http://www.havanesesweeties.com. I have a litter of babies who will be able to go to their new homes in the beginning of May! I became addicted to them, sorta like my additction to scrapbooking!! Good luck with your puppy decisions!

We also have an 8 year old little girl who is an only child and we weren’t sure whether we should add a dog to our family but knew that she needed a little buddy. We got a Maltese-Shi Tzu last year and it has been such an awesome experience. I’ve never been a dog person but I am totally in love with her. The first 6 months are pretty tough but totally worth it! I don’t think you can go wrong with that breed, the puppy looks adorable! Good Luck!!
