Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

I would really like a dog, but I want a really small small dog, something that could nearly fit in your hand or a little bigger, It doesn't matter if it is long or short hair as if it is small it would still be easy to look after. Please if anyone knows any breeds give me name or links to web sites as I would like to do research alot before I make my decision.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

There is no real dog that will fit in your hand as an adult.

Research toy breeds through google for small dogs.

As for me, I'd be afraid of misplacing or stepping on a dog that small.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

Westie terriers are cute and they dont moult, though I dont know of any dog that is small enough to fit in your hand.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

"Small" does not inherently mean "easy to look after". In many cases, it can mean the exact opposite.

Check out the breed selector on www.dogbreedinfo.com.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

My sister has a papillion lovely little dogs very protective over women and really easy to train. also they have a lovely long silky coat and papillion is french for butterfly dog because of the way their hair grows out and around their ears.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

visit akc.org for breeds ...good luck :o)

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

just remember the smaller they are......the more health risks involved. I could be wrong as I am not a small dog owner but most of those dogs full grown that fit into your hand were diliberately bred to be that small and they can come with health risk because of being bred in a manner to get them so small........

Good luck finding a healthy one......

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

Something that small (there isn't any dog that small) would probably have the metabolism of a humming bird and be difficult to keep.

chiwawa idk if i spelled that right

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

well the problem is many of the very small dog breeds are known for having health issues and temperament issues.......im glad you are doing your research, but something you need to consider is you need to go to a licensed breeder for this type of dog.....not a pet store or puppy mill. i cant think of any that will fit in your hand....but a few are out there that are just a little bigger,im gonna list the relatively low maintance small dogs (under 10 lbs or so ) that i know of.....you can research from there

Chihuahua

miniature dachsund

miniature pinscher

pomeranian(long haired so take a little extra care)

your best bet is to go to www.akc.org and look up toy breeds there, there will be details about every type of dog imaginable.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

awesome!!! you are doing your homework BEFORE you buy a dog, that is the smartest thing anyone has said all day,

some of my fav's are the following

Pomeranian... I have 2, they are very smart and funny little dogs

Jack Russell... Lots of energy but great pets

Chihuahua... but they are sooo hard to house break

Toy Fox Terrier, smart and easy to train ( had one as a child)

Papilion... French for butterfly, wonderful smart little guys easy to train

check these out Im sure you will find one that you like, all of these dogs except the JR will be under 5 pounds when full grown

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

Black Labradore; the ideal pet if u want him to vanish he will found no where . If u want him 2 grow big as elephant he will do it for u.. such a lovely dog......have it .he s so cute n understanding u can fit him in a finger. just a stroke of finger (on his chain) to tell him what u want him 2 do.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

It is my experience that the smaller the dog, the higher the maintenance.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

Chihuahua's are small, but that can cause issues. Such as, constantly watching where the dog is so you will not squish it.

Hi, can anyone suggest a breed of a dog that would be suitable?

if you want a small dog i would recommend a teacup poodle they are really small as for the grooming you could have it clipped right off. i hope this helps.
