FC, we got our lovely little soft fluffy dog from the RSPCA... he's a maltese crossed with a daschund but he's tiny and very very cute. Very silky and fluffy, lovely personality, excellent family dog. So I'd highly recommend keeping an eye on your local RSPCA and council pound websites - they often have the dogs on there - and they are vetted for temperament and health problems so you know what you're getting into, kwim?
