Choosin A Breed.

"glamorous" My little mixed pom and chi mix feel glamorous because they are treated like a little king and queen just letting you know that head held high and tail in the air is all that is required for glamor.

1st you need to be choosing the right dog for your situation and if there are a lot of little kids running around chances are a tiny delicate dog would not be a good idea for instances chihaui, rat terriers are really afraid of young children and will shake and hide in their presence.
Not to glamorous looking sitting in the corner afraid.

It is really very important to strive for the correct match because if you have to give up a dog because of "circumstances" you will not feel good about it. It will be a very emotional experience to have to give away a dog you have lived with and grown to like. In addition it can be a tough transition for the dog to have to enter an entirely new environment. Do your best to make that first choice the right one. Find a breed that suits your lifestyle and environment. Then you'll know you've got a PERFECT MATCH. For more info click on the link. Whatever dog you decide upon good luck and remember theat they are living breathing creatures that need us to look after them.

There are lots of little dogs and pups up for adoption on Petfinder.com: Adopt a pet and help an animal shelter rescue a puppy or kitten.! Rescue a full bred or an interesting mixed breed and save a life! Nothing feels better than that. JUst take a look around, they are so cute.

Please do not get a dog as an accessory. Get an animal that you can take care of, and that you have the means to take care of. Small dogs are great companions, but they require a lot of attention and training. So make sure that you have plenty of time for training.

Study a lot of breeds before you decide on one. "Glamorous" is not the most important trait to be considering. How much exercise are you willing to do each day? A rule of thumb is that the smaller the dog, the more exercise it will need. How much grooming are you willing to do? How much are you willing to pay for the dog? Are you aware of the health problems associated with the different breeds that you are considering? Are there small children or small animals in the household? How noisy is the breed in general? All of those are much more important questions to be asking than what the dog looks like.
