El Perro, La Casa

So Brandon and I want a dog, really, really badly. And don't worry, we're getting one. However, we're conflicted as to which one. The thing is we have a weight restraint of 35 lbs. or less. We'd like a wheaten, but we feel it's a little too big for an apartment, at least until someone stays home with it to walk it often or whatnot. Our next-door neighbors have a cute Boston Terrier named Maddie that does really well in their apartment. So we've got it worked out that when we get a dog Maddie and our dog ( I want to name it Pancho) can hang out and be buddies. Another thing to consider is how it will get along with Sydney, Connor, Mia, and Blackie. Mostly, we want a a dog that fits the weight restraints but won't die when playing with its dog cousins.

Anyway here are the contenders, I included pictures for your viewing pleasure and so you can vote.

Italian Greyhound: attractive for it's speed, couch potato-ness, easy-to-train disposition, and the fact it looks like us. We'll call it sleekness.
Downside: Mia will kill it.


Sealyham Terrier (looks like mini wheaten): attractive for its sturdiness, couch potato of terriers, cuteness, terrier personality.
Downside: They're stubborn and hard to find.


Westie: Attractive for its cuteness, sturdiness, easy to train.
Downside: It's almost too cute and prone to skin irritations.


Cocker Spaniel: Attractive because their tried and true. Brandon and I both have had cockers. Friendly and eager to please, big enough to hold their own with their dog cousins.
Downside: Maybe a tad too energetic.

So far those the contenders, Boston Terriers might be another one, or French Bulldogs...I think right now the Sealyham is winning.
