I had been thinking lately about the space where the dog would spend the majority of their indoor time and realized that it be a little cramped for a Labrador Retriever. I re-took the Dog Breed Selector on the Animal Planet website looking at the smaller size dogs. The Top Dog was the Miniature Pinschera 93% match but I eliminated it when I read that it can be scrappy with other dogs and may chase small animals I knew it was not for me. There were 5 runners-up and I eliminated 4 that need a lot of grooming.
The winner is the Chihuahua a 92% match
The Chihuahua is graceful, small and compact; it is slightly longer than
it is tall. It has a saucy expression and an alert, terrier-like
attitude. It should move out at a swift pace with good reach and drive.
Its coat can be smooth, with soft, glossy hair or long, with soft
straight or wavy hair and fringed ears. Learn more!
