Thats brilliant Proper male dog choice and a girly name
Only thing about those dogs (Pomeranian) is you'll have to cut the shit out of its bum hair I reckon.
I watched the Saturdays doing this to their pomperanian's on their show last week.

Amber, the 2 year old, doesn't chew much anymore, used to have a go at drawers in the bedrooms when she was teething though... Kingston, the one from dogs trust, is partially blind and deaf and is just teething now... So hes at the right height to bite knees, shins, feet and hands if they smell of food, doesn't help that he can't see properly so doesn't know if theres actually food in your hand or not!

Theres an easy way round this! Her tails fluffy so i just push it down to cover it, works most of the time, just gets a bit repetitive

Springer Spaniel - absoloutly Mad, you physically can not wear them out; they're so good natured and very, very easy to train. Our 4month old one is brilliant off the lead already. I take her out into the fields and she'll run round and round until she can't physically run anymore; then she'll have a drink and start again!

Guys, he's said he needs a little, easy to maintain dog. Not a giant akita or a crazy Springer

I wasn't suggesting a Springer, if anything I was giving a reason why he shouldn't 
My cousin lives in a city centre, bought a Springer Pup - the same one we now have. She needs open space, big fields and plenty of walks. A quick stroll round the park won't do it!!! You simply can't wear her out, ever! Gets me out in the fresh air though and she is so well natured, they're a good breed for that - We've had several Springers and never had one so much as nip someone.

My dad had a springer and as you say they are nutters with endless energy. He had to give him up when his new job required much more of his time. He now has two very lazy bassett hounds he's had one for four years and I adore her, and got the male recently(doesn't breed them btw)

Have to say I always saw 'handbag' dogs as a bit gay.
My missus decided she wanted a Bichon Frise, so I got her one and said I'd never walk it and would have fuck all to do with it.
Now I've got her one I've changed my mind, it's a fucking ace little thing.

We've got a Yorkshire Terrier and although small and a bit girly it's still a fun little dog. Very playful and well behaved too. Doesn't yap that much compared to other ones.

Yep must be small and faily low maintainence. If i had a big enough place, my family have always had golden retrivers and it would defo be one of them.
The mrs parents have a Bichon Freise cross with a Malteese and its ace, doesnt yap, very playful, doesn't molt, not very clever but that add to its character. We dont' want the same though.
ATM its between a Pom and a pug. Could get a Pugapom

I hate Pugs; A good friend of mine has one; its not the dog per se that I hate; just the fact that years of interbreeding and engineered breeding have left them barely able to breathe, it wheezes all the time and its eyes are on the side of its head so it can't see straight ahead, walkes into table legs etc all the time. Its not right at all

Bless it. The Mrs parents looks after their friends maltese when they go away and its not right either. Doesn't respond to noise(but its not deaf), chews its own leg(had to wrap it up) and it doesn't even know when its pooing, just does it as its running along
