a puppy would be alot of work and plus a chion is a fancy name for a mutt..do u really wana pay high dollar for a mutt when u could find that same on petfinder for cheaper? if u have the money and the time look on petfinder.com for a pup or even an older dog that would be easier to care for?Pigs stink? maybe try looking in to a chinchilla they do not smell if u can keep up the care and they also are neat pets?
