The munchkin has begged for years for a dog. I am thinking of getting him one for Christmas.

I'm not really a pet person. I grew up in the country, and had my own dogs, but that was because they were free to roam 100 acres of property. Outside of dumping some food in a dish, they really didn't require much care.

My backyard is not fenced, and I do not believe in having a dog if you have to keep it caged. So this is going to have to be a critter than can be an indoor dog.

He wants a doxie. I'm not liking what I am reading about their trainability and temperament for an inside dog.

Have I mentioned yet that I really dislike the idea of animals inside? What I'm looking for is a dog along the following lines, if such a thing exists.

a) It has to be small.

b) No shedding. I'm a clean freak, and am not dealing with having dog hair all over the place.

c) Easy to housebreak.

d) Medium level of energy is okay.

e) Low maintenance. I know full well who is going to end up taking care of it, so the easier the better.

I think beagles are cute, but I don't know how big they end up getting.

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm really not crazy about the notion at all, but due to some things going on, I think it might not be a bad idea for him to have some additional love in his life.
