I have a 5 lb pomapoo and want to add another little baby to the family. Where can I find a dog about the same size, breed doesn't matter, without paying rediculous fees?

Check your local pound. Little dogs like your pomeranian/poodle mix come in all the time.

Call the breeder you got your pomapoo from and ask about a rescue. Sometimes people move, have to go to a retirement home, etc. and can't keep their pets. Many breeder contracts require that you send the dog back if you can't keep them.
Also, check on-line for small breed rescue groups. They will often give you a dog if you pay travel or medical costs. Finally, contact all the vets in your area (as far as you are willing to drive) and let them know that you are looking.

You sound such as you comprehend a honest volume approximately canines. i actually know those that are prepared to do examine to discover the spectacular breed and comprehend some-what what they are doing. You sound like an lively man or woman, German Shepherd's are very lively. American Bulldogs are lively too, yet no longer as lively. All canines are lively, yet some are greater beneficial than others. For lively(ness), on a scale of a million-10, the GSD would in all possibility be around the 9 and the yank Bulldog around the 5-7. the two require extensive socialization. You mentioned you socialize your canines nicely and that's a large element. the two require quite some sturdy coaching, rules, and care. they'd desire to have a sturdy existence the place they comprehend what the guidelines are and characteristic a solid (mentally), consistent proprietor. The GSD desires approximately 4-6 hours of workout an afternoon whilst the yank Bulldog desires 2-3 hours. of direction, the two shed. The German Shepherd sheds its fur in clumps and the yank Bulldog sheds particularly too yet no longer in clumps. i'd ought to declare the German Shepherd is a little greater handy to coach because it somewhat is an surprisingly prepared dogs that could die to thrill its grasp. make particular to get in spite of dogs you get from a superb breeder and not a outdoors breeder. you're able to additionally evaluate rescuing yet no longer very many persons are attracted to that. there replaced into an entire muddle of purebred German Shepherd's admitted to my look after final week and that they have got been 6 weeks previous. human beings say there is not any purebreds or puppies interior the look after yet that's particularly a lie. I appreciate those that undertake and human beings that gets canines from respected breeders. I comprehend in case you opt for a nicely-bred dogs from a sturdy breeder and that's totally your selection. sturdy luck on in spite of you opt for for! :]

If you are not prepared to go to a reputable breeder, there are plenty of unwanted dogs in the pounds. You already have one crossbreed, so you should be able to f ind another one.
Reputable breeders do not charge outrageous prices - they don't breed for profit but to cover the expenses of health checks, rearing a litter correctly, feeding the dam, travelling to the best stud dog, paying the stud fees etc.

Shelters and rescues!! Always try your local shelters first, along with rescues. If you ask around, I'm sure you'll be able to find a small dog rescue in your area (they are everywhere, trust me) and shelters are always getting all shapes and sizes of dogs turned in. Most shelters/rescues have a nominal fee that helps to reimburse the costs of keeping the dog in their care and doesn't go into their pockets.

I bet you paid those stupid fees for your cross breed though?! A reputable breeder of pedigree dogs doesn't breed dogs for financial gain i guess you were stung by paying grossly inflated prices for your dog in the misguided belief you had got yourself a designer dog?!
Definately once bitten twice shy.
Contact your local animal shelter, for a reasonable donation you will be able to find a suitable companion for your pet (after your home has been vetted)
Good luck

I would defenitly check out your local shelters. A few years ago I got peek-a-poo from someone who placed an ad in the newspaper. Not nessisarily the best way to go about it but it worked for us, but it was still $125, but I've seen people by 5 lbs dogs for $800, call me crazy but that's ridiculous! There are too many dogs out there who need good homes, I know our shelter sometimes has influxes of certain kinds of dogs after someone has been busted for animal abuse (they got almost 30 corgi's once) Also, be willing to travel a little bit to get your dog.

Check out your local animal shelters. They often times get in hard to find breeds. Also you could keep an eye out on local classified ads for people giving away pups.

Try looking into a shelter or rescue group. Petfinder.com is a good place to look as well. Then you also have breed specific groups, where you can find a breed that might be suitable for you.
