Try puppyfind.com. It is a great website. You can tell it everything you want in a dog and then it will pull up all of the breeds that match your criteria. And you can also find a puppy near or around you area! Good Luck...and I would pick the bichon...Pomeranians are a little territorial.

I think you are going a little to fast with this! Look at the breed standards of these dogs. Look at how there temprament should be and then look at the breed standards of your other 2 dogs. Try and see if you think that all 3 dogs could get along. If you can honestly say "Yes they should get along" then it is time to move to the next step. The next step is look at the parent club websites and look at there standard (they often go way more in to detail on the temprament and all) then find a list of reputable breeders from the site (they almost all have a list) then look up those breeders and find out 1 are they in your area, 2. do they have any puppies or adults available at the time, 3. do they have any pet puppies (assuming you want a puppy) (assuming you have no intrest in showing). Then go to the breeders house and look at the puppies and carfully select wich puppy you think is right for you. Then carfully introduce your 2 current dogs with the possable new pup. Also check to see that your vet dose health garentees and vaccinations and OFAs and the parents where STD tested before being bred. Most people just go and bu from the first person they see that has one in the paper. Most of those dogs have come from backyard breeders. Going to the shelter and saving one is nice but it is harder to introduce a dog that you don't know the background of than it is where you know where the dog has been. Good luck I hope you make the right decision. Also things ussually work better with up to 2 dogs one dog and one *****. so also keep that in mind also keep in mind the situations you are in and tell your self honostly "am I really prepard to introduse a new puppy in to the house?" Good luck! Hope I helped!

www.preloved.com is fab for finding dogs closest to you in this country, I'm not 100% that you'll find one in notts, but Birmingham is only an hour from you by train and there's def some there.
But before you do, check your dogs are ok with small dogs, staffies are usually ok, but boxers may snap at a little pom puppy, they run around and yap and generally don't seem much like a dog to them.
