We have a shit-zu ( not sure on the sp ) She is a very well mannered dog and wonderful with our son. Not a yippy dog either !! Hardly ever barks ! Doesn't shed either so you have no mess. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for - big or small dog. You have to be careful because some small dogs can be yappy little buggers. Our friends have chiuahuas and they are nasty annoying little things. In fact I think they need to be put down they have biten on more than one occasion - bit their daughter in the face !! If that was my dog I'd have it out of there.. best advice is do alot of research and then go to a good breeder. Be careful of puppy mills, sometimes because of the conditions you can have tempermental dogs.
Good luck, dogs are amazing friends to have !!
