Personality really wins out huh! That is what always wins me over when getting a pet!

I DEFINITELY think personality is one of the most important factors!!! However, with that said, I voted "all of the above" because I think the other factors you listed are also very important to take into consideration when choosing a pup! I'd think one would be making a poor decision if they didn't consider all other factors beyond just personality!

One you didn't list, Malti, that I think is of significant importance, would be the buyers "allergy-tolerance" (b/c it is different for each person) to the breed/mix in which they are considering! NO dog (purebred or mix) is hypoallergenic, however, there are purebreds (and mixes) that are known to be good for allergy sufferers because they have hair (as opposed to fur) and very little dander! So, just to add my two cents, I believe the allergy factor is just as important, if not MORE important than personality!

Very Happy

I also voted "all of the above". While some of those things were *more* important to me, they *all* played a factor in my decision Very Happy

i voted personality.. only because i had to choose between bella and her brother and chose her.. because i loved her personality.. but all of the above would also work for me Smile

another option not listed is gender.. i'm partial to females.. simply from experience i've had owning both male and female..

hm, I don't see why this is a poll just for poo owners.. Not talking

These things are obvious factors to be considered when looking for any breed of dog.

This is the poo board ,you are more than welcome to vote in it though ..

It says "Toy dogs specific" board, there just happens to be a lot of poo mixes, doesn't mean it has to be poo exclusive Rolling Eyes

Just an observation, because I considered all of these things when picking out a chihuhaua and a maltese, I don't own any poo's.

Here's what the "Toy Dogs Specific" board description says:

I selelcted Type because one must first detemine what breed (type) they want first. Then the size, color,temperment, and all that fall into place. But as long as you get the tpye you want, with me just about any of the other quality's don't really matter, that just me. I can love any color, get anolg with any temperment. It like when you get your human babies home, you don't say, oh he's too shy,LOL Lets get a different one. Gots to love em all. Gwen, your right and this poll is for you too.

Edited to say: I don't have alot of time on the computer today, I'm going to my neices 1st. birthday party. You all have a good day.

I didn't realize this was the poo board either....

I voted for ALL also... cuz when I first got Bailey, his cute little personality hadn't even started yet! Smile

You are absolutley right, mybaby... the allergen factor was my number one factor at first.

Wow there ilovemaltipoos, I never said the poll shouldn't be allowed, I was just noting that I considered those for buying any toy breed, since the poll didn't have or ask anything specific to just poos, correct? No need to take anything personally, I like everyone here Embarassed

No hard feelings! Hope no one took it that way.

I guess we all need a little memory pill now and again.... heck, I couldn't remember something from a week ago yesterday! Smile

Monster and My baby ....I do believe that allergies is an important reason ,I didn;t list it mainly because that is why I have (list other reaons ) on there ...I wanted to know what was the most important if not on my original poll ...
But then Maltese ,Poodles and other Purebreeds are just as good for people with allergies ...and you know I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a totally hypoallergenic dog .That is an individual person 's allergies that affect whether they are allergic to any type dog ...
but you guys are right ...Poos seem to have a pretty good record with allergy prone people .

Lord oh Lordy, I love pugs, but after yesterday with my brothers pug I was soooooooooo appreciating my girly sasha and rufus too. I thought rufus shed alot, but god. I was covered in tons of little fawn colored hairs. I sooooooooooooooo love poodles. Rufus's shedding was a walk in the park compared to my brothers pug Bumbum.Aka-Jack.
