The Pekapom is my mom's dog. I'm wanting to get a little house dog of my own.
I love the Pekapom but that dog has a mind of it's own and doesn't mind.
I'm kinda interested in a Min Pin, pom cross, papillon, or any other breeds that make good indoor dogs. Any suggestions?
I would say....get a Min Pin!! We have had ours for 6 months. The worst thing he does is destroy socks, and drag underwear around!! I guess that is our fault for not cleaning up! He was high energy in the summer, but probably because he was still a pup then. He has calmed down quite a bit over winter though. They are considered "high energy" dogs. I never get sick of him, and he is the most fun dog I have ever play faught with!! You can be pretty rough and tough with them as well. He is not a fragile dog at all, and moves quicker than a cat. He also climbes around and on top of the couches and window sills like a cat. He barked...literally for no reason at all...for a couple days when we first got him. If he barked, we just gave a firm, and louder "quiet". That stopped the unnecessary barking after about 24 hours. He now only growls at people passing by (we live right in town), and barks at strange visitors. I would describe Min Pins as....FUN, high energy, intelligent, extremely fast, tough, and determined. The high energy thing often scares people, but if you actually discipline and train them, they can be just as smart as a Lab. Most people are scared to discipline little dogs, and simply think they can get away with anything. Sorry....but I dont think it is necessary for those little mutts to bark at me all phycotically for every second while I am around them.....aka....most zu's and Chiuiauia's!!!
Another thing.....they are extremely clean!! [b
]Sheds once every 2 months or so, and gets a bath maybe monthly.[/b] I joke around that his butt is probably cleaner than most peoples'.
