I'm trying to decide what type of dog that I want. I don't want a big dog, I want a dog that is small-medium and is good inside and is a real alert dog to every unusual sound around the house. Help with any ideas and please give me the name of the type of dog. Thanks

I have a Pomeranian and works fine in my home I have a single bedroom, also you can consider Yorkshire, or maybe Mini Pincher.
Good luck.

Like you said earlier you wouldn't mind getting a shelter dog and I would recommend that, as the shelter has lots of dogs pouring in daily. Shelter dogs will be grateful for someone adopting them after their hard life. They are usually already potty trained, and come in many shapes and sizes. Not many people want mixed breeds and I would suggest getting one. All people go for the purebreds, breeders and petstores. Make sure you do not regret your dog so get one that enjoys exercising the same amount as you do. Good luck

The Jack Russel Terrier is the best small dog to have. They are incredibly smart, loyal, great with kids and easy to maintain. They are not as hyper and "squeaky" like a sissy chihuahua, and they are easier to maintain than a pom of bichon (dogs that shed A LOT). Jack Russels. Fun, fit, and friendly.

I have had mainly small dogs and the two best small house pets are miniature schnauzers and poodles; have you considered going to a shelter or humane society to look for a little friend?

French Bulldog. The make good watchdogs, but they are not yappy. The can only be inside due to their anatomy, but they are great little dogs. They average 20-25lbs, but they are very dense stocky dogs.

I would suggest a chihuahua first, since they are sometimes hyper and will probably be alert to unusual noises. Also shih-tzus are great inside dogs, or daschounds.

Here are a few suggestions::
Bassett Hounds
Bichon Frise - don't shed, hypoallergenic.
Pug
Boston Terrier
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - adorable!
Good luck!

Boston Terrier. They actually do better if most time is spent indoors in extreme weather. Mine is very curious and is starting to develop in to her protection mode. She barks very softly, more like a huff at weird noises or people that she doesn't recognize. She is never yappy. Clean and shed minimal. Funny, playful, and very friendly. Thats my two cents.
