Question
Hello, I want another dog maybe you can help me choose what kind to get,

I want a 3-8 pound pooch something really small, Something that is ok with other dogs as i have 3 now, and most inportantly something that doesnt bark all day when left when I go to work.... and doesnt yip at absoulutly ever sound would be great.

Answer
I would go with a shi tzu-they are an excellent breed they seem to be willing to go along in any situation and are known for getting along with other animals and kids,and are also quiet unlike allot of other small breeds

Yorkshire terriers would be a close second as well for the same reasons

Both breeds to need to be clipped but don't shed much

The only breeds that don't bark are basenjis and shiba inus but are probably a little bit bigger then you want-they both weigh 20-30 pounds,both are also good breeds as well but they do make sounds such as screeching
