We live in a three story apartment. Would a small poodle or pomerainian be good for us? Or do you have other recommendations? We have snow and rain quite a long time each year.

I have a pom, a jack russell terrier, and a (fixed) male Papillon. The Pap is not the smartest, but the most loving, doesn't really shed and is not a yipper. Jack's are great, but high energy and they need to run. Great watchdogs, extremely smart, loyal. Paps can be timid, so not good with small kids. I just rescued the pom from a lady that's going into a nursing home, so I'm not sure about her yet. Best of luck!

i think that any smaller dog would be good. you can teach them to use those little pads to go to the bathroom on. poodles are smart and Pomeranian are playful. i have a shih tzu and i love her to pieces!!! she hardly sheds at all. i live in an apartment, but she loves being inside with the rest of the family and at times can tire herself from just running around the house. shih tzu are stubborn as can be some other small dogs, so training on the piddle pads might be a challenge. with living in an apartment you might also want to check out which dogs don't bark and yap as much. also with the snow and rain you might want to find a dog that has a double coat of fur. go to the akc website, they have loads of information about all the different breeds. good luck to you!!!

A small poodle is an excellent choice for an apartment dog. They are good-natured, smart, very attentive and generally good with older children. They tend to be better doorbells than watchdogs, but their bark is not too piercing or too loud for the neighbors. Good luck.

right here in Europe it doesn't be widespread to allow a canines spend distinctive time outdoors contained in the backyard in wintry climate, because it ought to now and again be very chilly, like minus 20°C. i imagine it relies upon on the owner of the animal. and also on the existence style. If the fellow can not administration the canines, and if the fellow is a lot from living house for better than 6 to eight hours at a stretch, then it isn't straightforward on the canines or the neighbours. we've a flat, one hundred sq. metres, and the basement is likewise one hundred sq. metres and we've 2 canines. the guidelines of the loved ones is that the first individual up contained in the morning takes the canines out, and that is at 5 am. And the perfect individual to bypass to mattress at nighttime takes them out for a very last time, that became commonly me as I worked till 0.00 (middle of the night). In a loved ones with 4 those who all had differing operating and learn circumstances, it became no problem for the canines. there became commonly someone at living house and so that they'd adequate walkies in the course of the day. And we made positive that our canines did not bark. I despise canines vendors who can not administration their canines´ yapping. The smaller the canines, the more severe the barking! Now that we've moved, we've somewhat backyard for the canines, yet they nevertheless favor to do their business enterprise off their personal sources. yet right here in Germany we ought to by technique of regulation %. up our canines´ poos, it isn't too a lot of a difficulty. What bothers me about human beings taking their canines for a walk and permitting them to pee on homes and flora in gardens. It corrodes the construction and kills the flora. How irresponsible! I also do no longer believe canines being saved in a extreme upward thrust the position it has to climb 4 or 5 flights of steps. it isn't good for the hips.

West Highland White Terrier. Barks less than poodles or poms. Hardy dog for rain and snow.

Think small's always wise.
I would suggest a Sausage Dog.
They have such a big personality 4 a small dog without the hair loss of a Jack Russell.

True, poms are small in size, but extremely yappy for apartment living. You'll be sorry! Consider a Pekingese instead. They are people-pleasers, very affectionate & social, tons of patience if you need to leave them alone for short periods, and on the higher end of the scale for intelligence.

small, lazy and quiet.
Pomeranians are cute but bark a lot. Poodle might be better though I'm not sure about those. DO NOT get a Yorkie...they bark at everything. I would suggest a little weiner dog. what are those called.....um.....shnauzer I think?
