And no. Those aren't mine. Google image. Pretty close though. Good, smart dogs. Anything under 15lbs is not a dog and is a rat, nasty rat. Please don't get a rat.
not bark all flippin day long
That's a priority.
Some breeds bark more than others, especially if isolated or otherwise stressed. Wolves don't bark, and seldom make much noise at all; barking is a 'feature' deliberately produced by selective breeding. You can read about the quietest dog breeds.
Training and isolation seem to be major factors too. If you leave a dog alone all day, stress and nuisance barking might become more likely than if you leave two dogs together. OTOH, boarding kennels can be terrible, and dogs can go deaf from all the barking as other dogs abandoned in cages can become very stressed. Also, if you reward barking, it becomes much more likely.
Please don't get something smaller than 15lbs though. if you have to have a dog, Cockapoo or goldendoodle are good options. No shedding yet still small enough. I have one of each.
Great advice. I also like the welsh terriers too.
We have a Chiweenie. Terrifically cute, energetic and loving, about 10-15 lbs, loves to be on a lap and snuggling.
Downsides: very hard to housebreak, has a ringing bark she exercises whenever someone knocks, sheds small hairs, chews stuff up (might be just a puppy phase since she's 1yo).
A Bichonpoo wonderful hypoallergenic dogs with hair instead of fur. But that also means constant grooming unless you want a Rasta dog.
Yorkies while cute and all are fragile and can be easily hurt, same with any other small breed.
That was my in laws experiences with yorkies. They get hurt very easily, more so than many other small breeds. It would be hard to keep a 2 yo from being too rough with a yorkie. That can a problem with any puppy depending on the 2yo.
My vote, no dog.
After my wife and I shopped around for a few months, we came to our senses and decided to hold off on getting a dog.
Does life give you enough time to deal with a pet? They change everything.

Wifey and I had Date Night last night, we spent it at the doggie hospital waiting for poochie to get x-rayed and examined for possible poisoning for something he ate outside. After giving him a IV for fluids because of dehydration from puking, diarrhea and major salivating, he came home and I'm $600. poorer.
Oh yeah, puppies are so much fun!!!!
WTF is with you old folks getting dogs in your latter years? Fucking getting puppies when you're capable of dropping at any moment? I'm saying that sarcastically, so don't get your rectum in a knot.
I have two dogs, love them to death, but I don't think we'll be getting dogs again. We love travel too much and we already feel guilty sending them to the kennel when we travel. And we don't generally like to travel where it's easy to bring dogs. My folks (in their 60's) got a puppy a couple years back. They love it. I don't get it. I've got two kids under 10, so my focus definitely is not on my dogs unfortunately. Although they're very well cared for.
I'm anticipating heavy travel in retirement...so we have to find someone who we can leave her with.
Mutts are smarter and healthier. In general.

That was another big decision, not having an anchor here if we wanted to go away. But I have a son and a daughter that live nearby, guess who's dog sitting if we go away?
Try....."Rover.com" It's the Airbnb for dogs. I have used them, and been pretty happy.
small poodle...they dont shed and are smart and friendly.
I recommend getting a cat instead.
I've been thinking about getting a RV and take him along. I just haven't figured out how to drive the RV to Barbados and Aruba yet????

That type of RV is called "sailboat".

He already has a boat.
Oh come on, if you're going to get a dog, get a real dog, not one of these "purse" dogs. Real men get big dogs, old retired grey hair ladies get poodles.
I recommend no dog. Interact with people more. Dogs will just tie you down and fuck your stuff up.
