While I prefer medium to large dogs in general, we had neighbor dachshunds growing up and they were great little dogs with good personalizes, unlike the whiny little chihuahuas (especially the ones that look like their eyes are going to pop out) or gasping for breath pugs (whoever deliberately bred dogs that way I hope is paying for their crimes).
Jack Russells can be pretty neat too but definitely noisy.
Pomeranians and bitchen’ frizzies are just yap monsters
However any and all of them are preferable to putting up with a cat.
But a hundred years or so ago, Pomeranians were much bigger and they pulled sleds! Although
who wouldn’t want to see a Pomeranian of any size pulling anything ! I surely would !
Mutt.
Boston Terrier
Pekingese
Best small dog breed is a cat.
Which one is least likely to have a constant yip going? That’s the best small dog.

Right, the one that’s quite.
@simplersimon I think you’re thinking of the illustriously quiet goldfish breed.
Biewer!!
Corgi!

Any rescue dog and English Bulldogs.
Papillons are amazing little dogs, and I love dachshunds and Poms. But the correct answer is corgi.
Dachsipoo!
OK, The American Canine Hybrid Club says “Doodle”, but I say dachsipoo!

Remember - you asked!
Cairn terrier

They’re like little Ewoks
@2many2no CAIRNS ARE THE BEST DOGS EVER. My nephew was scared of dogs but loved Star Wars, so I told him it was a baby Wookiee. They are BFFs now.
@2many2no @samijackpan They are incredible
Round these parts we’ve always had mini poodles, and they’ve worked out real good.
Bichon Frise. I have 2
I love my Japanese Chin
