Answer 1

I hope you aren't thinking any of those breeds could be outside animals!
All of the breeds you mentioned are special needs animals.
They need special care and grooming if they are to avoid skin problems.
Also they are all dogs who think they are MUCH bigger than they really are!! They have to have a watchful owner who won't let them get in over their heads with a dog twice their size!
Another thing to think about is these dogs also tend to be one person dogs. Meaning they bond well to a single person and might not tolerate what they think of as outsiders!

THAT SAID they are all wonderful breeds and will be grateful for a loving parent!

If you have small children in your family I would stay away from Chihuahuas. They can be fear biters. Most of the Chihuahuas I have come across were a little psycho, but I know of two long haired chihuahuas who were delightful little dogs. With Yorkies and especially with poodles you have the expense of clipping and grooming, or the job of doing it yourself. Poodles are intelligent little guys and can be quite charming. You need to go to the library and read about all three breeds to see which one will match your personality and needs.

Of course, the best option is to adopt a mutt from the Humane Society. Mixed breeds tend to be healthier than purebreds, and you would be saving a life.

What ever you decide remember to spay or neuter your pet. Every year millions of healthy dogs and puppies are killed because they don't have a home. Don't contribute to the pet population.

If the lawn is bigg a little dog like the chwawa would need a little fenced of area at first to get use to all that space. Yprkshires you would have to be willing to groom them and keep there hair nice. the toy poodle would be the same as the yorkshire but they have good showing cwallitys. you should also ask youself some questions like do you have kid and grown men n the house haold bc some dogs do not like kids and men just bc of there past. some don't like women eather. also do you plan on having kids bc the dog could become jelous of all the attantion thatg you give your new born. ;]

hope this helps

Answer 4

I'd be what I am now, a well ol' American combined breed. I'd be severe, have a well paintings ethic, and wish to reside in a well running house. If I had been saved as only a puppy in a fenced backyard, I'd be digging big holes and barking as a result of the shear boredom of all of it. I'd wish to be taken areas, to study new matters, and to look folks. I'd be pleasant however reserved and now not competitive. I'd be very unswerving to my loving proprietor and to the my loved ones. My seem might be usual. No extremes, possibly a medium or double coat. Much like a pass among a spaniel and a shepherd. Color black possibly brown with just a little white trim. I'd be fulfilling to seem at and first-class to contact. I'd problaby weight 50-60#.

Answer 5

chihuahuas bark a lot and are hard to train especially house train, i'm not sure about yorkshires, they are terrier which can smell, toy poodle are excellent pets, smart, easy to train and loving companions. I would recommend searching the internet and books and learn all you can about each one before deciding, that way you can pick the one that suits your life style the best.

Answer 6

Yorkie! Chihuahuas are way too fragile and they shake all the time, and my grandma has a Toy Poodle and it's the snootiest dog I've ever know, and he never shuts up. He whines all the time! I spent the day babysitting a yorkie once. Best dog ever.

Answer 7

Chihuahua... they are easy to take care of.. but they bark a lot and some of them only warm up to one person and dont like anyone else.. but Yorkies are cute tooo.. and toy poodles I've heard that any type of poodle is good for people who have alergies to dog, but they have to go to the groomers a lot.. thats kind of a hard decision.. good luck on that

Answer 8

Yorkshire

Answer 9

Most of the poodle crosses are good. Generally they're easy to train, have the hybrid vigor (not prone to a lot of the purebreed problems), are hypoallergenic and do not shed much, if any, if they are healthy and groomed and brushed.
Eg.... Schnoodles (Schnauzer X Poodle), Maltipoos, Yorkiepoos, Lhasapoos, etc. Do a Google search on these for some great info.
