Which breed is better?

Question

Which is better a beagle, maltese, puggle, or yorkie?

I need a breed depending on how sweet it is.

Answer 1

Yorkie because you CAN take them with you where ever you go and they will love you forever. Mine once saved my life.

Answer 2

It depends on what you Want..A beagle is ahunting dog that makes a great family pet. A Maltese I have never met but a few they are pretty but require alot of professional grooming, A Puggle is a very expensive rip off because its a mix breed or mutt! .Yorkies are cute and in the terrier family..I would go with the Yorkie or the Beagle...But you have to decide what fits into your life...Good luck!

Answer 3

I would say all those dogs are sweet but it really depends on how you train it. I would reccomend the beagle because not only is it cute but its the smartest dog out of the four. The beagle also likes to play more than the maltese, pug, and yorkie because beagles are good hunting dogs. But then it would also depend on what kind of dog you are looking for. I just hope this all helps.

Answer 4

beagles are a nice dog ,but they travel if they get a chance to escape they will run for it. A Maltese is a very cute little dog but very high maintenance not only the grooming end of it but they have dental problems, plan on having their teeth cleaned every 3 months. Not sure what a Puggle is ,but a pug is always happy I have never seen a mean one, they snore . I really like the Yorkie out of the ones you chose ,they also need grooming. It would be the dog I would prefer to have out of the four you chose.

Answer 5

Better at what? Puggles are better at looking cute, Beagles at hunting and protecting, Maltese at shedding and yorkies for just being small and cute... but seriously... What are you looking for in a dog and then it is easier to figure out what is best ... for you and the DOG

Answer 6

I have had many dogs and the pug was the sweetest I'm sure the puggle is pretty sweet too. I now have a maltese she is very sweet but if you do something she doesn't like she will nip at you my pug never would do that. The maltese is a pure lap dog and need a lot of attention but she is a good dog.

Answer 7

All of these breeds may be very yappy and hard to housebreak, so be prepared. If I have to choose from those four, it's a tie between the puggle and the maltese. I don't often recommend mixed breeds, but a puggle is les hyper and anxious than a pug and way less of a pain than a beagle. But I wouldn't pay top dollar for a so-called designer mutt. The Maltese is going to need much more grooming. They are not ornaments to show off in a Prada shoulder bag - they are living breathing animals that need care and training. If you get one from a really good breeder and raise it properly, you can have a great dog.
There are some people who try to breed them even smaller and call them "teacup" dogs - that's a fancy way of charging a higher price for a dog with more health problems.

The bigger the dog, the longer they can go between walks and the easier they are to housebreak. Instead of any of them, I'd recommend Italian Greyhounds, Pekingese, ENGLISH Cocker Spaniels (not American!), Japanese Chins and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They are a great, friendly, quiet apartment dogs if you want something smaller.

BEFORE you get any dog you should read some great books on training. (Try not to pick books randomly - there are a lot of bad books out there also!) These are some of my favorites and you can get them on Amazon.com

Find a good breeder by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. You can also find info about the breed clubs on the akc site - they probably have a rescue group where you can get an older dog for less money. The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.

Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country. The breeding animals are often kept in deplorable conditions - spending their entire lives in small wire-bottomed cages. They probably haven't been vaccinated against contagious diseases or tested for any health or temperament problems or genetic diseases - that costs money and cuts into their profits. A female is often bred every time she comes into heat. When her poor little body can't take it any more, she is often clubbed in the head and tossed into a dumpster or an open ditch. Most puppy mills ship their pups to pet stores at wholesale prices and many pups die before they even get there.

These so-called "breeders" have now figured out that they can use the internet to ship a dog directly to the customer and thus make more money by cutting out the middleman. If you buy a dog from out of state, good luck getting your money back if there's something wrong with the pup. These people count on you becoming instantly attached to the poor little guy and being willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars at the vet to treat whatever is wrong with him.

Answer 8

Beagle

Answer 9

It really depends on what you are looking for!!!!! A Maltese is a whole different ballgame than a Beagle!!!!!!!!!!

Research the breeds and the personalities first!!!!! Picking based on looks will turn out badly!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Depends on what you want but I prefer the beagle (a lot less grooming and less attitude of a small dog).
