New Family Dog?

[SarahGarza88]

Hello everyone.
As some of you know. My 6 year old daughter Clara because of her dwarfism is 1‘5“ in 18 pounds. We are all wanting a family pet, preferably a dog.

Which dog breed should we get though? Me and my husband aren’t really wanting to get a tiny sized dog breed, we are more fans of a medium sized breed. Considering Clara‘s height/weight though, we are willing to make some adjustments. Do y’all have any suggestions on which dog we should get?

Well as I've been told I am ugly to the bone and none of you are my friends nor colleagues I may as well stick to type - I find this a most distasteful wind-up. Any parents, if they had a daughter in this situation, would not come on a random website and ask what kind of dog to get. And who will be watching her with the dog when you're not here? Even a miniature dog could knock her flying - and as she has such a rare condition I can't believe you are not in touch with others who know a lot better than most of us on dealing with such dwarfism.

Prudie, if you have a problem with any post, report it to the AB editors.

Hmmm, Prudie, shift up a bit please and I will sit with you, OK?

Prudie, I’ve no idea who’s been getting at you but it’s a sick mind. Remember that and rise above it. You are a valued member here and well liked. People who get a kick out of causing trouble are not worth worrying about. They’re irrelevant.

Prude I agree about the wind up, though not about no one liking you, I thought you were one of the popular ones. Like Naomi said, ignore nastiness or back stabbing on here -I do.

What about a dachshund, would that be suitable? Do any of y’all have this breed?
