My friend has a german shepard/corgi, he looks kinda like this

He's very cute and sweet, but he has tons of hip and leg problems, he's had multiple surgeries, he can't jump, and he can't run much. He's about 7 now and has had these restrictions for most of his life.
I like mutts, but I wouldn't buy or adopt one with radically different breeds mixed together, it's asking for trouble IMO.

Yorkies and other small breed dogs are CHICK MAGNETS! You say you are single huh? Get a yorkie and take your daughter and the dog with you everywhere. Women will be lining up to talk to you. |
Seriously true. My cousin has me send him pics of Lola to show girls, he loves her and the westies he grew up with. He's 27, tall, muscular, not at all feminine or "gay". My other cousin's gay bff likes Lola the least out of everyone in our family/close friends, he's a cat person.
The men that gush the most over Lola are typically very tough looking, tattoos, bikerish types, or they're older and have had a little dog.
Just please be aware that this dog is going to be more your responsibility than your daughter's. You're going to have to help her train it and look after it when she goes to college.
I've had 2 dogs, I got one at age 7 and the other at 23, it's been a completely different experience. My family did most of the work and bills for my first dog.
