Dogs have more personality than cats but if I wanted to deal with an animal crapping all over I would just have a kid.

I have never had a problem with mine peeing/crapping in the house. Ever. It took all of one week to train my male dog.... about a month for the female. For whatever reason, sometimes smaller dogs dont really have a sense of the "den" the way a larger working breed does. Im not saying big dogs will housebreak easier, but well... usually they housebreak easier.rocket 5979 said:These are the reasons why I want a cat. Cleaner and quieter animals that stay away from me on most occasions and only when I call them do they usually come bother me. I like dogs and all but I will never deal with one pissing and crapping all over my house. I would take it out and "get rid of it" the second they did that. hehe.

Although she was difficult to housetrain as a puppy, our dog is really good as an adult the only "accidents" that I remember were usually our fault for not letting her out - like the time our friend locked her inside all day because she was afraid that our dog would be stuck out in the rain (she has a doghouse)Our dog is very clean, she has short hair, doesn't shed much, and even cleans herself like a cat, licking her paws and then wiping her nose.
Our cat, on the other hand, peed on all of the carpets in the entire house when we first got her. We now have all hardwood floors instead. $$$. Once we realized that the cat desperately needed to be outside, this behavior stopped although the cat is still weird about using the litterbox - she will use it every once in a while, but usually goes outside. The problem with a long haired white Persian cat is that they constantly are shedding fur and if they are an indoor/outdoor cat, they always have leaves and twigs in their fur which drops off at various times inside the house. Don't get a long haired white cat unless you really enjoy using the vacuum cleaner.
first off some of you seem like you should'nt have a pet, if your able to just get rid of it like that, do yourself and the dog a favor and do it
