Bjelkier Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have fallen in love with my Mum's Havanese. He is just gorgeous!! He is outgoing and loves to play, he especially loves exploring outside and chasing leaves. Harley is only a puppy but so far has a beautiful silky coat and doesn't mind being groomed. He has SOOO much personality and everyone that has met him has fallen in love. Great little dogs in my opinion! I have to put a vote in for the Havs too. I love them to bits and I am always hounding BittyMooPeebs lovely dogs for cuddles whenever we are at the same show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Chinese Crested Powderpuff, Tibetan Terrier, or even a Tibetan Spaniel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyflower Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wow, lots of suggestions! Thank you guys My DH would never let me get a Crestie. Whilst I am sure they are lovely dogs that likely fit the bill they are a very different looking little dog. CW EW It really is what my heart says but I'm worried the fear will taint the bond I build! How do you find the personality differences in Charlie & Emmie? I understanding completely what you're saying. But, I think once you get that pup in your hands, those fears will slowly fade away. I will be very careful on choosing another CKCS and research the crap out of the pedigree. Do you know the cartoon 'Pinky and the Brain'? That's Charlie and Emmy. They are absolutely opposite like day and night. But, they gell. Emmy needs Charlie's calm and confident to not freak out, whereas I think Emmy was put on earth for Charlie. Emmy gets his moving by annoying him and always getting him to play. I love The Sibs together. They are made for each other. Thank you CW EW! Both you & Jed agree getting another Cavalier is the best choice for me and I do 100% agree. I just thought I would ask the question to see if there was anything on par to these little guys but I'm not sure there is! That's wonderful the Charlie & Emmy are little kindred spirits! That's all any owner could ever want for their pets is for them to find their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest donatella Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Pomeranian! The cutest small dog (I'm biased), rarely shed, can get away with a brush once or twice a week. My girl is full of energy and a robust little champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkhe Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I always want to recommend Toy Poodles to everyone, but have to remember that my quiet little girl isn't necessarily the most representative of them! Especially young poodles. I'd second a pug too, and while I don't know much about Tibetan Spaniels, they do seem (from what I've read) to seem like they fit the bill too. Also, they at least have the spaniel bit in common with CKCS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunnwarren Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Guess Im biased as well but a silky ticks all the boxes you are looking for, lots of spunk, happy to be outside chasing imaginary things, love to cuddle on the couch and great with kids and other animals.

mita Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you want a Cavalier, simply go to someone who is "safe", who knows the risks, and who breeds carefully. But --- there are no guarantees. Buy carefully. Yes. Very good advice whatever the breed someone is considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollywaffle Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I happen to have the most beautiful little girl in the world, fiercely loyal, but independent, gorgeous and beautifully natured (unless she doesn't like you!)..she's a Pom...like her 'mother' coincidentally, but that's another story!

Dame Aussie Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've never had a pug but have good friends who have them and I've decided we will get one one day! As with any dog a good breeder is essential, the pugs I have met are lively spunky little characters who would do pretty much anything for food :laugh: They are little fire crackers and some of the most hilarious dogs I've met! They do shed but have the smooth coat you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyflower Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Aussie3 - I am not actually after a smooth coat, I would prefer fluff! I want something to snuggle into Thank you for all your help guys. With the help & kind words from Jed & CW EW I think I will go with another Cavalier. I have always wanted a Pug so I'll have a chat with my fiance but I think I need to follow my heart otherwise I will forever be wanting another Cav and three dogs is not happening with a cat, baby & horses to work. Thank you again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you decide not to go for another cavalier I second Pug! I'd be interested in hearing a little more about pugs! First you need to decide on colour I have a black one. He's mad as a cut snake and as frustrating as anything but also an awesome little dog. Keeps up with my Stafford, keeps the Maremmas in the line and is absolutely reliable with my daughter. He is a really tough little guy but also at the end of the day (when he's exhausted) so snuggly and sweet. I won't lie, we had a year of HELL but I feel we are coming out the other end in one piece. I love that he is happy to occupy himself outside and is not whiney or needy. They do also need to be loved a lot and spend time with their people. Food is Alvin's life! House training was reaaaally hard but eventually he got the hang of it - he's only slipped up twice with wees since easter. He's a touchy feely dog and has to be on my lap at night or lying on top of Esme the SBT. Thick skinned and quite able to keep up with the rough and tumble of a child playing with him.

Probably a wise choice Seriously though, keep a Pug in mind for future, they really are just so great with kids.
