It's more of a relationship you develop with the dog. And if by some chance the dog you end up getting isn't a lap dog, even after a few years when she/he matures, it doesn't mean it's not a good dog. A dog is like our best friend and even best (human) friends sometimes have things you may not like and cannot control once you develop a relationship with them. Just keep that in mind...
Having said all that. I also believe that dogs can potentially be trained to do almost anything with enough determination, consistency, and patience on your part. Again, that goes back to training techniques. If you feed the puppy treats while he/she is in your lap, I'm sure most puppies would end up liking to be in your lap. 
Definitely go with your gut feeling. I too had weird gut feelings about other breeders during my search. I'm almost certain those ones are actually backyard breeders, which I'm not a fan of. |
Thanks. I also tried petfinder and I found no puppies(yorkies, chihuahuas, or maltese) that I liked. ;c They -must- be females.. first off I personally dont want to feel a dogs weiner on my pants, or legs... and my mother just doesnt want to see a dog lift its leg up to pee. xD But idk maybe we're both silly. If I could put pants on dogs I would.
Also, the way she acted like she didn't even have any other contract other than to spay/neuter them... and idk it just was iffy.
