Which breed of cat and dog should I get?

Question

I want to have a cat and dog to take care of but don't know which ones and at what age...I want a papilion doggy and a cat to match but I don't know the cat breeds too much...I love cat though...I had persians and siemes and strays but I want a cat and dog that'll match...maybe like a chiwahwah and a Chinese naked Cat

I'm not getting animals for fashion. It's to take care of..To add to my family. I love animals...I once had like 13 dogs, 7 cats, fish, a turtle, a rabbit, and a ferret all at once...

for God's sake..people! stop saying I'm too young to get pets and I'm not shallow...I just want to know what breeds and at what age these animals can mostly tolerate being together....I'm almost 29 golly! p.s I have 2 kids! Geesh

Answer 1

If you want a Papillon dog, then go to an animal shelter. But obviously a matching cat to a papillon is a longhaired cat, so hopefully you won't have a problem with cat hair. There aren't really any cats that would match a papillon in general, but you can find one that matches the color once you get the dog.

And just so you know, the Sphynx (what you called a chinese naked cat) must be bathed. Since they have no hair, their skin gets oily and you must bathe them once every other week. Otherwise, you will have oil deposits on your couch and on your clothes. Sounds gross, huh?

Maybe you should consider adopting. You could get a black dog and a black cat. Sounds like you want a small dog though, because I was thinking a black lab or something.

Good luck, and take good care of them when you get them.

Answer 2

I worked in the pet industry for many years and to be quite honest with you I would not choose a dog or cat simply because of their looks. You want to get a pet that fits your personality and life style. If you have and active social life and don't have a lot of time... you don't want a terrier breed dog, they require alot of time and attention. On the other hand if you want to take the dog out to parks etc, alot you are not going to want something like a bulldog, cause they tire easily. I would recommend evaluating exactly (personality wise) you want in a pet and doing some research to find yourself the proper breed. Once you do that, shop around... though each breed has bred in traits they each have distinct personalities and you want to find one that is comfortable with you and you with it. Don't just go and get one because he/she is so cute. I would also highly recommend checking out the pound and rescues, not only is it many times less expensive than purchasing from a breeder or pet store, but it also saves a life!

Answer 3

I know you're not going to like this answer but please do not get pets for fashion accessories. Buy (OR ADOPT) pets according to their personalities and how well their needs fit with what you can give. Getting two pets just because they "match" seems pretty shallow.

Answer 4

Get a Garfield, Heathcliff, or a Bill the Cat. They are my favorite breeds.

Answer 5

Get a beagle dog and a calico cat :-D they are both small with the same coloring.

Answer 6

if you really love animals like you claim, go to a shelter and adopt. and don't worry about a matched set. that's a rediculous and childish criteria. makes me think you're not old enough to have a goldfish. that's a thought!!!!! get fish.

Answer 7

i say a calico cat cause mine that i have is very sweet, and if u want a loving dog a lab or a collie.

Answer 8

Hhmmmm, How about a pug, and a persian???? They both would have the smooshed in faces! You could go with tan or black.

Answer 9

You could get a Persian and a white Poodle, both will be fluffy, somewhat prissy, and white.

Answer 10
