Which breed should i get??	Can't Post

Hi everybody,

one of my friend is planning to get a puppy. The problem is that she is staying in a condominium, and she wants to get a dog which is quiet and have a good temperament. A small dog would be more appropriate,but which breed would be better to stay in a condo??

I understand that she wanted to get a French bulldog. Does the Frenchie suitable to stay in a condo or it needs spaces for regular exercise??

Besides that, is there any other breed that meets the requirement? She doesn't want a dog that requires extensive grooming.

Would you all pls gimme some idea as to what dog suits for her ler Unsure

Thanx !

I'm sticking with the french bulldog but they r really hard to get here. Tell ur fren that she/he can bring the dog for walk outside to get the exercise. And when indoors, the french bulldog can be quiet and still.

Hello,

finally my friend had decided to go for a pug

We went together to a pet shop and had book a male pug which cost RM 1400.

It is MKA registered, vaccinated and dewormed, and also microchipped. Is RM 1400 reasonable? Or we can actually get it cheaper?

For me pug male selling at RM1400 is expensive. Maybe because you got it from pet shop. Why dun you look for pug breeder ler? Why you so fast make a decision in booking the pug?

You should take your time to search for it mah. Unimpressed

Don't rush for buying a pup when you see the cute little face display at the pet shop.

Since you buy already what can I say. Anyway Good Luck Tongue

Re: [carynna] Which breed should i get?? [In reply to]	Can't Post

don ever buy from pet shop!!

mostly puppies selling at pet shop are unhealthy. (mostly la, not all)

RM1400 is Expensive for a small breed dog.

try to look at Star newspaper. i think i saw ppl selling pug at RM400 - RM700.

and you can get a cheaper if is not MKA registered.
