a maltese, yorkshire terrier, or a toy poodle. what could he handle
Honeslty what 13 year old boy wants a “girly” dog. I would take him to the animal shelter and let him save a life.
Try to get a young dog so you do not wind up with a dog with “issues” especially since it will be a kids dog.
I personally love mutts and think they are the best.
I think Maltese or a Labrador Retriever

Yorkshires and toy poodles tie as the two hardest breeds to housetrain. I would say a maltese would be the best choice.

since he is a teen he is pretty much capable of any dog, does he want a lap dog or a tug-o-war kind of dog, where do you live? apartment? house? do you have a yard that is big enough for a big dog? look at all of these questions and decide on the one thats the best for you!!!
good luck!!

none of those dogs they a very vocal and you might thinkthat’ssannoyingg get him a black lab their mellow but have lots of energy to keep up with him

What kind of person is he? What is he looking for in a dog? Etc.
I think, generally, a thirteen year old could handle any of the dogs you listed. But what would he like?

Depends, does he want a lapdog or a dog he can play tug of war and football with?

Take the boy down to the animal shelter and let him choose his own dog.
Also, I believe that American Pitbull Terriers make fantastic pets for kids. They are loyal and fun, they also make good watchdogs, but theyre better at being a good pet.
i personaly think that a maltese, yorkie, or toy poodle are too girly for a 13 year old boy.i would suggest a golden retriever or a lab

I would have to none of those. A 13 year old boy should have a golden retriever or a lab. He’s 13 he can handle a large breed dog.
Both of those breeds are great with kids.
For a girl yes a little dog like that would be fine but not for a boy.

He could handle a “hotdog dog”
seriously! they are easily fed too.
Dachshunds are playful, fun dogs, and
Dachshunds are known for their devotion and
loyalty to their owners,
i wouldnt recommend a poodle for him, WAY TOO MUCH
MAINTENANCE!! i used to have one, and WOW.
Weiner dogs have short hair, that can be brushed easily
to remove and loose hair. Even a wet towellete would be
enough for this breed.
PS choose a dog carefully! they all have different personalities,
some dogs may be destructuive while others are super fun and great wiith kids. xD

Dachsunds FTW!!
a happy dog expert experience with tons of books of dog caring, and in general, DOGS.
Well i have read that Maltese are good with Older kids so he is at a good age. But yes Yorkshire terrier and poodles are hard to house train but i know yorkshire terriers are good with older kids.
And here is a list of other great kid dogs that he can handle:
American Eskimo Dog
Labradors
Beagles
Golden Retrievers
Dachshunds
Bulldogs
German Shepherds
Miniature Schnauzers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
West Highland White Terriers
And also a Rottweiler i had 2 when i was a kid one when i was 2 years old and then i got another one when i was 7 and i used to walk her when i was 11…But yeah they are great dogs too
And plus a 13 year old boy can handle a large breed.
It would be good for him!
I hope this helps!!
