[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]are there any breeds that are "minis" or "toys" that aren't miserable little shits?  i've only ever had mutts - some fantastic, some hyperactive and poorly socialized.  but i love dogs and all my friends with the miniaturized version of some other (better) breed seem to have to deal with miserable little bratty dogs with anxious personalities and sometimes territoriality and aggression issues.  bred for size, not personality, clearly.  min pins, mini poodles, shelties, mini dachsund (who thought it was necessary to scale down a dachsund?), mini schnauzers.  every single one i have run across has just been a little shit.  there must be some decent ones out there?[/quote]

I didn't see my Maltese on this list. I've raised and had Malteses my entire life and I'm seriously obsessed. A bit hard to train for tricks, but mine have always been housebroken easily. SUPER sweet with children. I saw a baby poke my dog in the eye once and the dog just moved away. My current dog loves being around children too, is playful, doesn't need much walking, doesn't bark and is incredibly sweet and gentle.  The only con is that you have to groom daily or keep them shaved monthly. [/quote]

We have a sheltie and never had problems with the dog.  Easy to housetrain, nevr broke skin herding, etc.  Weighs almost 30 pounds.  It's not a miniature anything but is a real working dog.  I think some were bred smaller and it seems to be a problem in all these breeds when ythe goal was size reduction only.  [/quote]
