Should I Get a TOY POODLE, MALTESE, YORKSHIRE TERRIER, or a MIN PIN?

Which is best in terms of not yapping too much, being easy to potty train, listening well to its owner?

If you have any of these dogs, please share with me how long it took for your dog to potty train, listen to you when commanded, etc…and any instances of smart behaviors would be nice. ;-)

Thanks!

Definitely a toy poodle! Every dog is an individual but poodles in general are very VERY smart. It is one of the smartest dog breeds in the world. So potty training one will be easy and breezy. Poodles’ temperament is calm and relaxed in general. When they are excited, they love to play, but they know when to stop. As for listening well to its owner, every dog will listen to you if they respect you, and that’s something the owner has to work on, not the dog.

I have a toy poodle myself. I adopted him when he was one-and-a-half years old, and despite the fact that he had been living his life in a cage and despite the fact that he was already pretty much grown up, I taught him how to sit in just a week. He also doesn’t go pee pee or poo poo in the house. He did that once and got in huge trouble. Now, whenever he has to go, he whines to let us know, if we haven’t taken him out already. He also listens to me very well, and follows me everywhere!
I think you should get a toy poodle.

Edit: ‘Shorkie’ is not a breed.

    well i think you should get a SHORKIE, even though its not on your list. . . .. i have one myself and he is only 8months old and completely potty trained and he is a VERY smart dog, the only problem i have had so far is that if he isnt on a leash in an unfenced area hge runs off, but i am working on getting him trained more, and he is already EXTREMELY better after only 2 weeks!!

    I would go with the toy poodle. They are extremely smart and easy to train. Poodles gained the title of the 2nd smartest dog in the world by the AKC. I had a toy poodle when I was 13 and it took about 2 weeks to get her used to potty training and being comfortable in her crate. They listen well and tend to yap sometimes but not that much. I wish you the best of luck with your new puppy(:

    Is there someone who knows what kind of disease that makes the hair fall and affect the skin so it bleeds? The areas most affected are the ears, the tail in the area nearest the body, the feet and belly.
    The vet said it may be a fungus that attacks this breed and also horses.
    The medicine he prescribed did not finally cured the disease
