Answer 1

If you live on alot of land (at least 3 acres) and don't live in a plan-like area, you can get a large dog like a doberman or a german shepard etc, since big dogs need space to run around. Big dogs tend to go in other people's yards I get all kinds of dogs crapping in my yard, and my dog used to do the same. Of course you have to traine them. Large dogs are protecting and good companions.

Little dogs like weiner dogs or jack russles are better for apartments or other places with less land because they can be satisfied indoors without cabin fever. You still want to be careful because Jack russles can be a handful sometimes. Some boy dogs tend to pee if they're too exited, and all little dogs like Chuauas and Daschunds (wiener dogs) can get into tiny places and squeeze through fences. My wiener dog is smart enough to escape almost ANY fence. She vaccumes my kitchen floor whitch CAN be fatel if there is a cleaning detergent or something else that's bad for her on the floor. They get lost easily.

If you have alot of steps and beds and other things dogs can jump on and off from. I suggest you don't get any long short dogs because it will hurt their back. Jumping up hurt thier lower back and jumping down hurts upper.

Big dogs tend to be less maintenence unless they're wild. Dobermen and dalmations are usually high strung unless trained VERY well. this means they will chase other animals, jump on you (and children) and break things. My doberman is young and wild even though he has improved. He eats carpets and bothers out wiener dog. He won't purposely hurt my wiener dog, but she's very annoyed. We solve all these big dog (and I'm sure it would work on any sized dog) by using a shock collar. Make sure you educate yourself anough before you buy and use a shock collar for the safety of the dog.

Since you have big dogs, I'd be careful getting a small dog if they're mean towards other dogs. My old doberman was very nice and calm (good find!) and we wanted a wiener dog. Within a couple of weeks they were wrestling and playing without uf having doubt or fear of the little one's safety. He raised her and now (like all wiener dogs) she thinks she's a big bad doggy lol. Let me warn you: if you or anyone you know thinks about getting a domerman, try to get a history on the doberman's family. there is a desease called Cardio myopathy that will kill them around 9 yrs old. they get it around 4 but don't notice it untill it's last week or even very last moments. It is most common in dobermen but it can happen to other dogs too (rare).

Google the desease.

I don't know about St B's, but no dane puppy should EVER be fed any brand puppy food. They are very sensitive and need to be on a good quality adult food. Nothing in a grocery store, or Walmart is a good food. A few examples of good food are: Eagle Pack Natural Canidea Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul Innova If you can't find these locally, check out their web sites. If you can't order, try to find a food locally with similar ingredients and nutrition label info. Good luck!

Answer 3

I would get a sheltie. They are awesome dogs are aren't prone to the health problems that papillons get. Also, no matter how sweet your dogs are, you don't want to get something so small that is looks like a snack!

Answer 4

If you want my opinion, I think you have enough to properly care for. For the dogs sake.
As a breeder, we hear some pretty bad stories about problems especially caused by the breed you already have.
Caution on this one. You could make the front page news.

Answer 5

i would suggest labs. they are great with children lovable, and smart. but for your convience try this. all you have to do is fill it out and it will recomend a breed that suites your life style. it is free of charge and you don't have to get a pure-blood. mixes are good too. also try the pound to find your dog. here is the link:

good luck!and remeber pups are a lot of responsibilty! you should watch the dog whisperer on the national geogrphic channel. it has great tips for dog owners.

Answer 6

Dont get a breed. Go to an animal shelter and rescue the cutest little dog you can find. Or if you cant decide on one, check which one is going to be put to sleep next and adopt that one.

Answer 7

Actually, it is Shih-tzu, I would be very careful getting another dog considering the ones you have already. You need to be darn sure your other dogs will accept the new one. If you get a little one, it would only take one second for one or both of your big dogs to kill it. Hate for you to have to learn this the hard way. Good luck.

Answer 9

Seems like you have enough dogs already. The dogs you have are bread to be working/fighting dogs and good size. If you have had for a while they could get jealous and end up killing your puppy. So if you go ahead, be careful
