It's really nice of you to be thinking about how to help make your sister happy. She must be grieving so much for her husband and dog.
Do you know for sure if your sister wants a new dog now? If she isn't ready for it yet, it may not be the good surprise that you want it to be. I mention this because just last week, my husband told me how his secretary at work was given a "surprise" puppy to give her some companionship by her dad -- only to admit that she was glad to not have a dog (her dog had passed away a few months ago) and the responsibility of it. Now she is stuck with a young puppy and trying to housetrain it herself and all.
If all is good and your sister does want a new pup, then Biewers are great! We have a little one ourselves and just love his personality. We got him from a breeder in PA who has since sold her breeding stock to someone else. But others on this list may have suggestions for you.
All the best ! |
