I have a one and a half year old mini schnauzer but now am super anxious for another addition to the family.
What breed to you suggest would get along the best?
Thank you.

I have a beagle bassett mix in a house with two standard Schnauzers.. they get along well enough... I think it has less to do with the breed and more to do with the dog's personality and energy.. I would not suggest a "bully" breed because they tend to have dominant personalities.. and schnauzers generally have them as well.. even if they don't seem like it.. when another dog is around it comes out.. Try to find a more passive dog, not too excitable.. and then when you introduce them .. start by keeping them seperated.. (I used a doorway with a baby gate..they could sniff and see each other but not get close).. wait until both dogs are calm and relaxed.. (our schnauzers took awhile to really relax).. and then open it.. it worked for mine.. and one of the schnauzers had a history of biting and attacking random dogs when we took him in.. never had a problem when I introduced them that way..

Any dog with proper training will get along fine in any household. Decide first on what you're looking for. Be real specific on full grown size and energy level because those are two areas overlooked a lot of the time.

mixed breed canines are no longer fit. beneficial, the probabilities of illnesses become much less, however the canine is likewise vendors to extra genetic dieseases...those from each and every breed. And if the canines are genetically vendors to the comparable illnesses (consisting of hip dysplaisia, for occasion)...then how, precisely, is that any distinctive? besides...there are hundreds of hundreds of canines in shelters--the two organic and mixed--and hundreds of people breeding *daily*. Do you fairly think of the international desires extra mutts--or pets--? in case you elect for a mutt, undertake. upload: Rachel is right approximately Wikipedia. And..uh, how precisely does the desire to diminish wellbeing hazards (consisting of maximum cancers) make me a foul canine proprietor?

It is more temperment of each particular dog. Schnauzers are nice dogs my mom has one and has Scotties with hers and they play all the time.
