My Bro has a male about the same age. Beautiful dogs, powerful and full of heart. Wish I was still on the farm so I had a place a large dog could run. I am content with my city lot now AND my Doxie. She's a hoot and I've had one my whole life.

My Bro has a male [Weimaraner] about the same age. Beautiful dogs, powerful and full of heart. Wish I was still on the farm so I had a place a large dog could run. I am content with my city lot now AND my Doxie. She's a hoot and I've had one my whole life.

As this thread has been sent to chat, I assume I can talk about items of less than international socioeconomic import. One of Atlas's best friends is a young female Dachshund (platonic relationship only; she's been "fixed"). They seem to share a similar, perhaps Teutonic, personality: demanding, even assertive, when looking after their own interests (the "need" for a biscuit, or to get up onto the sofa, or to go out when in or in when out); but remarkably gentle when under certain circumstances (meeting a puppy or a child or an elderly person, for example).

Best of luck with your Doxie; that breed might be my choice if I wanted (or had to have) a smaller canine. They, of course, don't realize themselves that they're size-challenged.
