getting a second dog!!!
I am going to get a dog when I get back to my home land, canada. I already have a 3 year old shih tzu named scruffie. I am planning to get another dog in my homeland but the problem is, I CANT DECIDE WHICH TYPE! I am not sure which dog i should get, or if i shouldn't get a second dog. I am planning to get a second SMALL dog so plz help!!! My 3 year old dog is a male so I have a feeling to get a female dog so scruffie wont get bored, but I am not sure.
PS if you gonna suggest a dog i advise u tell about it, eg: pomerainian, barks alot, good with children , medium size, good in cold weather, ect.

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
I believe that a mutt is the best dog to get they usually have great quality and personalities
and as a bonus they are cheap
but, of you want an unfixed dog they are usaully fixed by the shelters

If you're looking for a small, nice dog, I would recommend a miniature dachshund. They are sweet and loving, although I have heard some are not great with very young children or other dogs. However, I have a long haired one and he gets along with everyone and all kinds of animals great. They usually like lots of attention, too. Although breeds do have certain characteristics about them, this won't mean that EVERY dog follows this standard. For example, I got my dog from a dachshund rescue society, and I met about 20 different dogs that all had different personalities. In the end, I picked my dog because he seemed to be the sweetest and most loving of them.
Good luck finding a dog!! :]

I would actually highly recommend a pomeranian. I have one and he's a lot different then I expected him to be. I'd get a male dog because they tend to be more temperant. I have a toy pom and he's good with kids, barks but not more then the average dog, great with cold weather (like in canada) and is just a pleasant animal to have in my life. Larger dogs are less matinence and seem to be a better companion and family dog, but if a larger dog gets playful with your shi tzu, it could be dangerous. A good solution? A miniature. A ton of dog breeds that are usually large have been bred to be a much smaller size, with the same attributes of a large dog but the size of a small dog.
Whatever you decide on, do your research. Before buying a dog, have your shi tzu meet it. This is VERY important. I took my pom to meet a german shepard puppy expecting a good match but the shepard treated him more like a toy then a buddy. We introduced him to a demure sheltie, and now they are great friends.

I have a caren-zu, its a mix of a Shi-tzu and a Caren Terrior. Caren-zu's are playful like a Terrior but can be very calm and boring when you want her to be. Caren-zu's can bark alot but like I said she can be calm and boring when you want her to be. If you get a Caren-zu when she is young you should feed her 2 times a day, but when she gets a little older you should only feed her once a day. You should brush her about every other day because they do get notted pretty easly. Caren-zu's are pretty good in cold weather but if your in a hot place you can just shave her a little bit but you dont have to shave her she will be fine. Dont let them sleep with you because they will feel like they are better than you. Good luck, I hope I helped, and I hope you enjoy your new job.
