I second the Maltese vote. I had a little maltese and he was so sweet; and loved to play ONCE he got to know the other dog.

I think it's easier for the dogs to play if they are more evenly matched in size. I have a Westie now, with Lucy, and they play well together. I can tell he holds himself back, though, when he REALLY wants to get rough. Kind of like an 11 year old trying to play with a 5 year old!

Westies are great dogs; but I would absolutely recommend a fenced yard for a Westie. They are high activity; high energy dogs.

Thank Goodness I have Lucy to help him run off some energy!
