    although the breed has a lil to do with how much it barks, how active it is etc etc
    in the end, its like people, each and every one are unique
    u can't just know which one is "better"

    its all a matter of preference
    plus u can look into crossbreds, as pure is hell expensive these days

    i've got pomeranians, malteses, pomeranian cross malteses, chihuahuas heeheh
    they're all quite small, each are different =)

    keep in mind the fluffier dogs take a lot more maintenance!

    eg
    u have a dog thats a pure pomeranian
    u have a 2nd dog thats a pure maltese
    wen they breed, teh puppy is a "cross" aka "mix" of the two

    therefore it'll have certain features of the first dog, along with some of the second
    all down to genetics =)

    i say go to the pound and save a dog from the kilms

    get an older dog
    cuase that way you know what size they will grow up to be
    and you can see if they become hyperactive creatures when they have grown up

    look for a lazy one
    that will ensure a more quiet dog

    Get a pug they are small and dont bark much. All you need to do is pamper them.

    i have two pomeranians myself, they are known to bark alot but my dog don't bark at all. i bring them everywhere and no one ever notice theres a dog around because they are so quiet. so it really depends on the breeder. i do suggest if your looking for a dog, please please please don't buy from a store, cause most of the stores get their dogs from puppy mills and by buying from a store your supporting puppy mills. look for a reputable breeder around your area, thats where i got my 2 dogs and research on the breeder.
