I want to get another doggie and he should get along with my Yorkie, which I usually keep in my garden when it's not cold outside since he's not a Toy Yorkie.
My partner suggested Rottweilers and Dobermans since he's a bit paranoid about some things that have happened in our neighborhood however I'd rather go for a Husky since I find them way prettier and winters here reach even -10F / -23C.

But still, this whole idea seems crazy to me, this Yorkie is my first dog and before having him I was basically scared of any dog. I just lost the fear on mid sized dogs and I might get a huge one... I was also thinking about a golden retriever, which my partner might not agree on since he's smaller.

I do like the idea of getting a puppy also as a friend of my Yorkie and I don't know how that could work out, I have a dog trainer and I will ask him. However I don't want him to think that I'm getting another dog because I got bored of mine or something, I don't know why I'm getting paranoid about what he is going to think about this idea.
