I have a black lab, do you think that bringing a miniature pinscher in the house would make the dogs get too crazy inside, or will they play outside and settle down a little inside. Would getting a miniature pinscher give company and companionship to the lab or would it turn out bad.

we have a yellow lab pup- a female who is 7 mo old. Recently, we had a lab mix visitor who hung around for a few days and I'll tell you, our dog absolutely loved playing with that other dog (also a female, about the same size, but a little older I think) We're planning on getting her a permanent playmate as soon as we can fence in our 3/4 acre yard. The 2 dogs played almost nonstop outdoors, but also were rather playful inside, which was not so good! But, I think that after 2 dogs get to be comfortable with each other and count on each other always being there, they would calm down- at least inside! My dogs have always been crated when we are away from home and are only out when they are supervised. If I were you, I would think about getting another dog of a more similar size, cuz labs play pretty rough. Good luck!

Recently, I adopted a shetland sheepdog. My schnauzer was slowly introduced to the new dog in the apartment. This is a week after, and they are still going crazy constantly with each other. So I doubt that they will settle down inside unless you monitor them closely.
If you introduce them slowly and properly, they should be ok with each other. Also, provided that your lab is about the same age as your pinscher.

A miniature pinsher is known to be very loud and temperamental. Labs are pretty big dogs and a bigger dog might be better for him/her more energetic. Labs are very caring to puppy's and other dogs if they hit it off but....... I would suggest a spaniel or a nother lab Something a little bigger than a miniature pinscher. Hope my advice is useful to you.
bye

Its hard to say. different dogs have different reactions. It would be a good idea to take the dog you have now along with you to meet the other dog. that way youll know if they will even tolerate eachother.
a min pin may not be the best choice because they are little, a better choice might be a dog closer to the size of your lab.
they could play and be wild outside as well as inside.
I have 5 dogs and they play outside as well as inside. it can be rather hectic at times with them all playing..when i chose my dogs, i chose dogs that were about the same size ..

It depends on how well your lab gets on right now with other dogs, particularly little dogs. If he is well socialized with little dogs and the minpin you are adopting is either a pup or an adult used to big dogs, it could work.

it all depends. if you've seen your dog with other dogs then you should have a good guess as to how your dog may do with another. your dog should meet another dog outside of your property to be on the safe side. the vet i work for always recommends getting a dog of the opposite sex then the one you already have...........but that is just a recommendation. it also may depend on the ages of the dogs. from my experience, older dogs (about 9+ have a harder time adapting to the puppies).

It depends on how well the dog you have behaves and how well this new dog is because just from my experience with a mini dachshound and a mini australian shepard, it can get very hectick. It's easier with more than one person to help with them though.

It depends. Is your lab friendly? Is it a girl or a boy? 2 males may fight. So it depends.
