Picking the right dog breed for me?

Hi, I’m beginning my search for a dog but have no idea what kind I should get. I’ve never had a dog before so this is all very new to me. I’m hoping some of you out there can advise me on a small dog. I live in an apartment so I’m trying to be realistic. Luckily for the puppy and me I have the ability to bring it to work with me. He can play in the office, so I don’t have to worry about leaving him home hours on end!!
That being said here is some of the criteria I want in a dog. Again, I’m new to being a dog owner and I’m trying to pick a breed that’s practical for me.

I know you can’t tell from the picture but my vote is for a Boston Terrier. Yes they do want to play some, but they love to cuddle too and can be trained like any other dog as far as barking and behavior.

Remember though, one breed or another does not mean that you will necessarily get the traits you want all wrapped into one dog. Every dog has it’s own personality and so your pup may not be as hyper or mellow as someone else’s pup from the same litter, let alone breed.

Make sure you research the breeds and then research the breeders to make sure you get a dog that is not from a puppy mill.

Good luck! Enjoy!
