I think I would be afraid to get another small dog since Coco was the hardest dog in history to housebreak. I have an Enlgish Bulldog....I love her to death. My next dog will definetly be a female, fawn and white BOXER!!! I love them and that is what we had all growing up. I have never had one as an adult. I do like Malteses, but not sure about the housebreaking
