German Pinschers?
Okay, now i'm at a loop again.. I read alot online about the German
Pinschers, and thought they would be a good mix with my other dogs, Min Pin and Italian Greyhound. But now have been getting tons of emails from ppl who have these breeds and are telling me that I should NOT mix the Min Pin or IG with the German.. I really want a med sized dog and every one that' I've been interested in seems to be what most ppl think .. .a mistake.. first i was interested in a Dalmatian..(too big)... Staffordshire Bull Terrier ( too aggressive).. German Pinscher (too agressive).. so am I stuck.... the only other dog I have alot of interest in is a English Bulldog.. hell with what ppl have been telling me.. it looks like a English Bulldog is my safiest bet.. i dunno, i guess it would be nice having a Lazy dog for a change.. any thoughts..?? |

German Pinschers?
also.. any suggestions on a small to med sized dog that would be a good mix
with my Min Pin and IG.. i guess i'm really leaning towards the English Bulldog again.. I dunno.. guess I'm little stuck.. I would love to get the German.. but one lady told me she has 4 min pins. .and 3 German's.. and she said they are never together.. and when they are she has to Muzzle the Germans .. even for potty breaks outside.. she said that even tho they all live in her home together that if her germans' ever got around her Min pins.. that she would fear for her min pins lives..? I dunno.. sounds crazy to me.. but... what about Lakeland Terriers...? also another breed i had interest in...... |

Supposed to be both people and dog friendly. You might look at "Decker Line" dogs, which are a bit bigger, but some of them may have Pit in them. So a regular one of a bit bigger size might work. I've fallen in love with the breed and can't wait to meet some at shows. |

German Pinschers?
im sorry are you having a laugh? ok the dalmatian 'too big' didnt you
read what i posted to you? dogs large and small can live together perfectly fine. the staffordshire bull terrier 'too aggressive' i so want to scream at you right now! any dog can be aggressive if left to his own devices has very little socialization no training or is handled badly. this ladies dogs and their behaviour is probably mostly her fault,some ppl you could give the soppiest most docile dog and the moron could completly ruin him with bad handling. so long as your prepared to do some ground work and put in the hard work there is no reason why you couldnt have a great dane or a chihuaha (sp) i have two dalmatians and a shih tzu,they mix perfectly fine with my bil collie my friends dogs a great dane lurcher and collie x plus the many breeds of dog they attend training with and meet at dog shows and that includes staffs amstaffs dobermann and rottweilers. i think you should put the feelers out a bit more maybe ask your vet if there are any german pins in your area and see if he will arrange to give them your details dont just blow it out the water based on what one woman said you dont know how shes been treating them or what sort of training they recieve. |

They seem to sleep 20 hours per day! |
