Both our dogs are rescue dogs. Lucy is a bichon, she will stay on the couch with me. Sit on a barstool, or on top of the pin next to the one I am playing. Maddie Sue is havanesse. She is a bit more playful. Not as will to be a constant shadow. Both are good mannered and not vocal. I would recommend either as a companion animal. We are going boating after lunch. Lucy likes to go to the front and look out thru the railing.
I hope you find a true friend in your dog.
