Hey, I’m looking for a companion for my Dachshund. She’s a livewire, barks at everything, is very energetic, and gets on well with other dogs after a while, but she growls at first. I’d really like two dogs, not just one, but I’m not sure if my Dachshund will like another dog in the house. Have you got any recommendations or advice on which breed gets on best with a Dachshund? Thanks

Hi Rach_73, I love Dachshunds! I have one myself and a Bull Terrier mix, and they get on so well. Rather than focusing on a specific breed, you should find a dog breed that suits you and your lifestyle. Once you’ve picked a breed, you need to spend time introducing your Doxie to them slowly. Most Wiener dogs are sociable canines after overcoming the initial few barks. My Doxie cuddles into my other dog any chance she gets, and most of them are super affectionate with their canine siblings. Read our guide on dog socialization tips for a smoother introduction. Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
