This is for anyone who has ever had a large dog and a small dog simultaneously. I’m really looking for people with personal experience with this. If you have insight on any part of this question, please answer!
I have a 6 month old dachshund. When she is a year old, I plan to get another dog, but I would like it to be a larger one. I have not yet decided on a breed (I still need to do more research), but I wouldn’t go any bigger than a Doberman. My concern is, will these dogs be able to get along? Has anyone ever had their larger dog accidentally harm their smaller one during play? Or maybe harm them on purpose? Is the smaller dog dominated during play? Does the smaller dog feel insecure with the larger one around, and does the larger dog bully or mistreat the smaller one?
I know I want two dogs, but I won’t sacrifice the happiness of my doxie. Ideally, I’d like a larger or medium sized breed, but I’ll get a smaller one if having a big dog in the house will cause her trouble.
