Cooper doesn't have all that much experience socializing with other dogs. I took him to a dog park in Florida when I visited my parents and he was the timid dog. He had much more interest in the dog owners than the dogs. There's no dog park near me that I know of and I don't have friends who have dogs so it's tough for me to find socialization for him.
The groomer however, let's the dogs play together before they are groomed. He says he is super playful and loves the little dogs. I've also had someone come do work on my house who brought his chihuahua with him. Cooper played with him all day, let him eat his food and even let the chihuahua sleep in one of his beds.
I would just feel more comfortable with a puppy who grows into a less than 8 pound adult. |
