I am having trouble deciding on what breed to get. I am thinking either a toy poodle or cavalier king charles spaniel. I have very specific needs.
I live in China and am from the states. I will always live in an apartment with many people in and around it. A dog that barks a lot or is not good with strangers and other dogs would not be good. I will be traveling a lot with the dog, so it must be small enough to go in the cabin of an airplane. Some flights may be 10 hours plus. A dog that is too hard to potty train or behaves poorly would be bad. I would like to train the dog to use potty pads of the floor on airport restrooms. Is this realistic? I would be able to spend a lot of time with the dog but would be gone for about 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon.
The poodle seems like a good choice because of intelligence and ease of training. The cavalier seems a good choice because it is said to be quiet and good with people. Any advice? Anything else to consider?
