I'm very interested to hear from those with doxies! Thor is very interested in other dogs, but uncomfortable if they are bigger than him. Since he is 3 #s, that's a lot of uncomfortable-making dogs. However, I noticed that he got along really well with some daschunds in the park. I think it was because even though they weighed more than him, their heads were still low to the ground.
I have always wanted a short-haired daschund, though I've heard they are not the healthiest breed? I won't get another dog for at least 6 months because Thor still needs some time to adjust. I would love to get him a buddy though.
Also, given his age, size, and temperament, if I were to get another yorkie, it would be a tiny female puppy, and I would prefer not to shell out the kind of cash that would require. With a daschund, I would be less worried about it growing up to be bigger than Thor, though I would still want a young female.
