…A stuffed one….
No dog likes to sit in a humans lap 24/7 and be brushed and humanized…and any dog will try to escape a backyard or any confinement if given the chance.
And any dog with teeth will bite/nip if it is not trained properly..dogs are not accessories
All dogs like that, but you have to teach them to love themselves by praising them a lot. Coat care can be a chore, though.
a pomeranian ! [=
or a chihuahua.
A Pug. Funny lap dogs that love to be pampered.
do your own homework on dogs breeds and find the right one for you.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, but don’t treat the dog like a doll, they are living things.
Chihuahua. No doubt. i have one, and let me say, she is the sweetest dog in the world. You are right, they are easy to take care of, and they loooove attention. They can become costly if you want to buy all those costumes and accessories and whatnot, but they make great pets.
Unfortuantly a dog is technically a wild animal. So its in there nature to dig-You just have to provide an alternative! All puppies regardless of breed will chew things-If you want a Puppy, you’ll have to put up with these things, until there taught not to! Dogs are NOT toys, they are living, breathing animals.
As a rescue, we are amazed at so many people wanting to buy a so-called “Teacup” puppy. Thus the reason we are writing this piece concerning our views about the phenomenon of so many people wanting a “so-called teacup” puppy.
Puppies aren’t toys; they are living breathing babies that need love and attention, not to spend half of their life in someone’s HOT purse!
Please take the time to read this and educate yourself! The lives of many little dogs depend on you educating yourself, and others, not to buy into this phase.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
This is a topic that most assuredly needs to be brought to the attention of perspective puppy buyers.
Let’s start out by saying “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TEACUP” PUPPY”.
With that in mind, let me say this; It seems as though there is a plethora of people who are insistent on buying tiny puppies in the 2 to 4 pound range. Also commonly referred to as a “Teacup puppy”.
The word “Teacup” has been used to merely describe the size of a puppy, meaning it is very small and will probably be under the standard size which is 4 to 7 pounds for the Toy Group, Yorkshire Terrier breed. We cannot imagine anyone wanting anything smaller than that! Their bones are VERY fragile and can be broken by jumping off of a coach, falling off of a bed, being stepped on or worse.
Many breeders, while tacking a whooping price on a puppy, “claim” to breed so called “teacups” as if they were a breed all their own. Don’t be fooled! They are NOT a breed of their own.
If a breeder says they specialize in “teacups” RUN, RUN, RUN for the hills! Most “TEACUP” puppies are in reality, a premature puppy.
Most females are bred on the ninth through the fifteenth day of their heat cycles. Eggs can be fertilized for up to 72 hours after any of these breeding’s. Therefore, it is possible to have puppies conceived up to a week or so younger than the puppies first conceived in a litter. However, when the first puppies conceived are mature and ready to be born, labor starts and all the puppies will be born, no matter when they were fertilized.
Some of the problems that may be encountered are both genetic and congenital in these tiny babies and the list is a long one.
The risk of open fontanels (soft spot from the cranial bone not forming), portosystemic shunts (PSS- abnormal vessel that allows blood to bypass the liver. As a result the blood is not cleansed by one of the bodies filters: the liver.), hypoglycemia, cardiac problems, collapsing trachea, luxating patellas, Leggs Calves Perthes disease, seizures, hydroencephaly, blindness and digestive problems can be increased in these tiny babies.
Problems such as respiratory problems can remain or worsen throughout their lives. These babies frequently are so fragile that they do not live more than a few years. There have been several tiny Yorkies as adults who still had open fontanels and their owners had to carry nourishment with them all the time. Their vets have felt it unsafe to give a full dose of vaccine so the puppies had to get several injections to be on the safe side.
There is no such thing as a “tea cup” Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Poodle, or any other breed for that matter. They simply do not exist. “Tea-cup” is just a marketing ploy given by unethical and unscrupulous breeders to drive up the price of their puppies!
So called “Teacups” fetch anything from $1000 to $10,000! This is ridiculous and shameful! There are a lot of chronically, unhealthy puppies because unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills are inbreeding. Some poor darlings only live for a very, very short time!
They take the little teeny, tiny Yorkies and they breed 2 1/2 pounders with 3 pounders … well, they’re playing with genetics. You should NEVER breed a female of any breed less than 5 pounds.
PLEASE educate yourselves before buying a tiny puppy whether it is a Yorkie or any other breed. You could be in for months or years of heartbreak not to mention staggering veterinarian bills!
DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! IF YOU WANT A HEALTHY PUPPY, DON’T FALL FOR THE TEACUP ACT!
Chihuahua
Yorkshire
Poodles
Jack Russell
Maltese
Shih Tzu
Boston Terrier
West High land White LOVE ALL of that.
A minature or toy poodle or a yorkie. However any dog will run out of the backyard if he is not trained.
I wanted a dog just like this!! I decided to go with a pomeranian or a yorkie. Its small, Cute, You can accessorize them, and everything like that. Im going to make my decision and go get my new baby in the next two weeks.
By the sound of it you are way to young for a dog.
If you want your dog to do all that then you need to spend time to train them.

I suggest for you a Maltese.
They are fluffy, white, smart and are lapdogs.
But they do have to be groomed alot!
too many choices. you need to know which ones are as active or inactive as you are. you don’t want a hyper one if you are a couch potato or a couch potato if you are active. There are surveys you can do on the internet. check it out. it will hook you up with a compatible one just for you, if there is one.
a mixed they are healthier.try a maltipoo if you like long haired lap dogs.
