My grandma is looking for a small dog with shorter hair and light in color. I am good with larger dogs but I could use some tips and ideas on small dogs. My mom and I are helping her look. One that is easy to train is prefered, I think my grandma would be happier with a dog that is willing to please her.
Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
with shorter hair.

I have heard that papillons *love* to please their owners. And they are very small, and light colored.

Poodles are amazing.
They are very smart too!
Light in colour, and they are considered hypoallergenic.
They come in 3 sizes-
Standard, Miniature and Toy.
..and a variety of colours, for the matter.
West Highland White Terriers are also a good choice.
Although they are a little harder to train, they have a white coat and are small. They are also considered hypoallergenic.
However, training a dog can have different results. It also depends on what methods you use. I really encourage postive reinforcement. I’ve trained a 3 Year old Yorkshire terrier in the past, and he was a breeze! However, his owner said that he’s very stubborn…that’s because they didn’t praise him after what he did right.
Again, I encourage positive reinforcement for training!
Good Luck !

They’re really cute canines, but the lowest price you might find a purebred one for is about $150…

I would search the shelters and rescues (petfinder.com) for a small mix. (Remember to do your homework and check the temperment of the breeds that are in the mix!) I just a couple weeks ago adopted a rat terrier mix who is 9 lbs. and super smart and sweet! Most rescues are great because they know the temperment of their dogs well and can help you find one that has the personality that you are looking for. Good luck!
