a somewhat random question for you, o flist
one of the things that is, apparently, in discussion for a wedding gift from the boything's parents is a puppy*. They breed black labs, but we don't have room for one of those (which is sad, because they're beautiful and awesome), so we were thinking of getting a small dog (which would, essentially, be my puppy).
We've ruled out pugs because of the health problems, but otherwise, we are open to suggestions. So far, the front runners are a corgi or a papillon. Any recommendations for a relatively mellow, preferably non-yappy small dog?
I suspect I already know what
norabombay's suggestion would be :)
*the last dog I had was a puppy from the time I got her until my mom gave her away 10 years later. all dogs == puppies. especially if they are tiny.

*ahem*
Corgis are very smart dogs. They're herding dogs by breeding, so they can be a little possessive of their owners, and try to boss them around. It's important to be very clear with a corgi as to who's the boss, because if you're not, they'll assume it's them.
Every corgi I've ever had the pleasure to meet has been sweet, affectionate, and mellow. Also, they are completely adorable. How can you say no to a face like this? Or this?
