Breeder recommendations?
I live around Dayton Ohio area, I'm looking for a good breeder that lives maybe 1-2 hours away (our car cannot handle a big roadtrip but i'd still want to pick up in person if possible and see the living situation and the parents) I'm looking at Cavalier Spaniels, Papillons, Teddy Roosevelt Terriers, and Pomeranians so far. I would take other breed recommendations as well, this is for future planning but when I am financially and mentally ready I will be looking for a smaller dog breed (maybe up to 20 lbs?), hopefully a pup that will be ready to fetch and tug but also be very happy to snuggle up with me a lot! I live with my partner who has a mini aussie (please no comments on this dog, we were very uneducated at the time and realize now that it was a very very bad thing to have ending up supported, this is why i'm looking for better info and ideas for the future now) so maybe something that'll be able to somewhat keep up with some zoomies with that dog?
