Best little dog I have ever had(still do) is a mini-rat terrier. She is 10lbs and the only animal I allow in the house. I have two other large dogs. She is mildly needy but I do carry her with me everywhere possible. Mine only has three legs but that is another story. She is respectful in the house and will bark and motion to go outside. Great animal.

Hey Fireboy,
Didn't realize you were in SC, and I assume someplace close to Greenville. I got Ranger from Pup-E-Luv Kennel in Laurens, SC. A lady named Sandra Clark owns it and is big time into the dog shows. I had a hard time convincing her to sell me Ranger as he was from a long line of Show winners....
Looks like she has several pups for sale now.
Here's her web site.

Harleyrider, I believe that is the lady I was referring to in an earlier post. I'm not sure though, I can't remember if that was the place or not. Thanks for the link. As far as cats go, Apparently you guys didn't read my replies to another post. I'll skip the cat, thanks.

When visitors come over he goes under the couch (funny to hear a barking couch)and barks until he is comfortable with the visitors being around. My best friend has cocoa's brother from the same litter. He lives next door. His chihuahua is big and stocky (for a chi) and is very agressive, but not a biter. Same litter, as different as night and day in appearance as well as demeaner. We love the chihuahuas, but when he and the rat terrier both die we'll be sticking with the mini dachshund breed. That dog is the best dog I've ever had, next to a german shepherd. We have a smaller yard, so a small breed dog works well for us. Hope the chihuahua input helps.

I am on my second CHI and I love it to death of course I have a lab also but my little CHI is a little bundle of fire. He isnt one of the winny, mean barking type he is laid back and will let you know when somebody is there. He sleeps in the bed with you or he will retreive. He is way smarter than my old female. After he is laid to rest I will have another one. I love them for house dogs I agree some can be a pain just look around and you will get the right one.
