Advice on dogs

Ok here's the deal, we are climbing the first rung of the property ladder and both want a dog.

We would love a dachshund and a rottweiler. Now we believe it would be better to get the dachshund first then once he's grown up a bit introduce a rottweiler pup.

Any advice on the best way to do this would be great

E.g get them together or which way round.

Get them both together as puppies

Get rescue dogs.. You'd have no idea how much a warm and loving him would mean to a dog that lives in a horrible and dingy little shelter, without anyone to love or love them

you'd practically be saving a life, instead of adding to the fat wallet of a mindless and selfish breeder..

We love rescue dogs. A friend of ours has got two at the minute a st Bernard and a French mastiff both are lovely. The St Bernard is a gentle giant

We have an English Pointer and she has been the most amazing companion, and has been amazing with the kids. She is 12 now, and unfortunately we have just been told she has cancer. The day to make the hardest decision in our lives is not far away

If your going to have kids, have them before the dogs so the dogs know their place within the pack.

Timing is everything when introducing dogs always meet on neutral ground dogs have to sort out whose the boss between them not the humans. If it is rescue dogs your going for try and get as muck background info as you can on the dogs temperement and if your unsure don't go ahead we had a rescue dog ( white german shepherd) got told he was great with kids until got him home and he nipped 2 of my kids so he had to again be rehomed with no children

we have two rescue dogs. Be aware of their background most good rescue charities will go out fo their way to help you..and give support.

in answer to your question its best to introduce when they are pups but our 2 were 2 years old when they first met and we had had the one for a year before that, but they get on great. I hope that helps x

sausage dogs are prone to spine injuries so allowing a rotti pup full of playfulness to be part of the family is quite possibly a bad move,

So, so sorry guys. It's very painful I know. But 12 fabulous years and you've no doubt made each other very happy during that time.

I have a Rotty, now 8 who thinks he is at the same time a) a human being and b) a lap dog! He is the most loyal, friendly and playful dog I have ever owned.

I certainly don't subscribe to the theory that Rottweilers are viscious, however I will admit that they can be territorial and bossy. Few people seem to realise that in New Zealand, they are used as sheep dogs. If you are going to have two dogs, the other breed needs to be in place first, then introduce the Rotty, the other way around just won't work.
