Why get a small breed dog? Firstly, I want to keep the dog indoors because of the high occurrences of dogs being poisoned (I don't know which a$holes punya angkara) in my neighbourhood. My sister's two puppies (remember Duke & Duchess?) were poisoned and they died last year.
Secondly, I don't think I can handle a large dog. And there's no way that I can bring a large dog indoors without the dog wrecking things inside the house. If that happens, the dog will definitely be barred from ever setting foot inside.
We have two cats at home (Dad's and Mum's) and they don't like to be cuddled. Pelik kan? A large dog will probably maul them or get its eyes scratched out by the two feline fatales. Haha...
So today, after going to the PC Fair, we stopped at Wonderpets on our way back. I asked the owner about small breed dogs. They were very helpful and spent some time answering my enquiries about what type of dog would be suitable for me. They even let me sit around and read books about different dogs.
Saw some shih tzu puppies, they were very playful and oh-so-cute but their grooming will be a nightmare since they have long hair. I can just imagine the number of times the house had to be swept because of the fur/hair . No, shih tzu is out.
Cute but No.

Image taken from here.Then the owner suggested the daschund a.k.a. Sausage dog. Price will be around RM500 for a puppy. Hmmm... Shorthaired and small so should be okay for me. Reading more about this breed to learn how to care and train it. From what I read, this breed is moderately active and this means spending some time to bring it out for a walk and play in the park. Maybe I will be able to exercise after all. Hehehe...
Anyone have experience with this particular breed?
Cute and definitely-maybe?
Anyway, the owner of Wonderpets told me that the puppies will be ready maybe in a month's time. What do you think? Should I?

u mean a beagle? Yes, that's the dog that I originally wanted but the petshop nadai stok ukui nya. I still want to ask around first for the beagle. Might not get the daschund after all, got objections from certain quarters..
If you want a sausage dog.. I recommend Hot Dog...hahaha.
Jokes aside..a Beagle will not be happy with your intended environment...they are hunting dogs and need lots of space in the garden...and they howl a lot too.
Have you seen a Pug?
p/s. Can't see how you can keep a dog together with cats in the house.
pp/s don't bother unless you have lots and lots of time and $$$$ for them, Cheers. kpenyu
kpenyu:
hi. welcome :-)
hot dog? akai... we refer to ukui kaka@kurap as 'hot dog'..haha, definitely not what i'm looking for.
I read some articles about beagles and just as u said, they are very active and need lots of outdoor playtime.
pug? ugh...
p/s: i don't know what the reactions may be but i expect the two felines to throw their tantrum and then settle down with occasionally bullying the poor pup. Years ago, my dog siap 'susu'kan the kittens ba..haha
pp/s: Thanks for the advice. Am still thinking about it though.
maybe i'll get a shih tzu after all..
If I were to keep a dog here in Sabah..it will be a Kadazan shepherd instead of a German one..Akai. Iban shepherd is good too...nyaaak.ya.No offence meant ok..and are you ready to go to Kuching for the briefings? hahahaha.. kpenyu
