I had a black female schnauzer named Betsy as my first dog. I then got Levi my yorkie when Betsy was about seven. They got along wonderfully. Betsy passed away about 3 years ago at the age of thirteen. Although I have not gotten another dog, I always think about it. Levi is now five. I would recommend a schnauzer, they are great loving, loyal dogs.
