I love dogs! I have one a Shih tzu named "denver", He is a lively one and loves to be pampered a lot. He is me and my husband's baby. I am thinking of getting another one, but I still have not decided what breed...Can you recommend to me a breed?

do you prefer small dogs or big dogs? If you answer my question I can give lots of good breeds to consider. a pomeranian would be a cool choice for a small dog though. They can get along with shitzus very well. I can give you a good suggestion of a name if you have another miniture dog. You can name a miniture dog "Missile" its a cool name and cute small dogs runs like little missiles.

@viju05 so you prefer pampered and princess like dogs who were gentle and loves to dress up?

if you want a big dog who is going to be gentle Border collies would be a good choice (remember the infamous Lassie) she is a Border Collie. Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers are good family dogs, they get a long well with kids. If you want a dog who is super loyal, Akita Inu would be the choice. They were the most loyal dog on earth.

Are you familiar with breeding? If not, I would encourage you to read up on the breed of dog you have now, and find out as much as you can BEFORE you get another Shih tzu to breed with your Denver. Please do not cross breed your dog with another that isn't the same as yours. There is not enough information available to know the affects on the puppies. Furthermore, it is often best to leave breeding to the ones who know exactly what they are doing. Too many puppies are born and end up in shelters because of those that didn't know what they were doing.

yup I know about breeding! but it is kind of a long process to find another dog to mate with my denver and wait for many months for the delivery of the puppy. Hehe, but it would be nice to just buy a girl Shih tzu so in the future they can mate and have puppies. Thanks for the advice!

I am really a cat person but I have often thought about a little dog like that, but I am not sure I could cope with all the training involved with a dog, cats are much easier to maintain.

I love dogs and cats :) I have a female dog called Luna and 2 cats: Suzie and Chuck Norris. I love German Shepherds and I recommend them, if they're well trained they are lovely dogs.
