| Suggestions PLEASE... what other breed??? Ok,my boyfriend and I live together in a condo (2 bed) about 1400 sq feet. We have just our one dog (bailey) She is 1.9 lbs and 7 mo. old... So she is pretty small. We have been thinking alot lately about getting a second dog but we arent sure of what dog to get... All we know is that we want one that is going to be medium- medium/large sized.... Our main concern of course is the safety of our baby girl bailey (we dont want to get a dog that might hurt her) So we need a dog that gets along well with yorkies... We dont really have a yard BUT we would be taking the dog to the dog park everyday and taking it on dailey walks.... My boyfriend wants a dog that will run around with him and play fetch... ect. Any ideas? What kind of dogs do you all have (aside from yorkies) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS! Last edited by kelsie123186; 06-14-2007 at 01:28 PM. |

| my suggestion is a TEAPOT yorkie... my Tootie is 16 lbs, VERY durable but yet gets along with Hope so well! Hope is just making 5 lbs.. He is big enough that he can rough house with my lab and hubbie but still a precious baby! He and Hope are inseparable and do very well togeter... d

| i want another yorkie but my boyfriend wants a bigger dog.... Like 30-80 lbs... He wants one he can take to the lake and go swimming with, run around (hes very active) and do flyball... frisbee ect. When we were looking for our first dog and ended up getting bailey (my little purse girl) I won... now im finally letting him get a dog he wants which he refers to as a "manly dog" but it has to be something that will be okay with bailey.... =) |

| It's my experience that yorkies & boxers get on very well together.

| My daughter has a lab that Jake gets along very well with. In fact, the lab is very protective of Jake. But, she has her own house, they don't live in the same house. Not sure how they would be if they lived together, but they sure do have fun when we get them together on weekends. Last edited by SJK1113; 06-14-2007 at 02:05 PM. Reason: Edit: Labs shed alot though in case you were looking for something that doesn't shed, just thought I'd add that. |
