"My daughter wants a puppy."

Translation: Fiica mea dorește un cățeluș.

[GrossiBP]

is catelus even smaller puppy - is that a meaning?

[Lurch_M]

Oh, you're thinking about "câine", "cățel", and "cățelus". Yes, the latter two refer to puppies. They come in sizes, you know! :-)

[traindrivermark]

Then the english should be "my daughter wants a little puppy". And why doreste, not vrea?

Size is relative, compare a St. Bernard little puppy with a Chihuahua big pup :)

"A dori" and "a vrea" have almost identical meaning, but "doresc" is quite emphatic, in common speaking you will hear mostly "vreau".

[Tannenzaepfle]

The audio is missing, at least for me on cățeluș.
