Understand your limits on what kind of dog suits you best.

I was almost licked to death by my dachshund.

There are reasons some breeds won’t go on insurance policies. Those reasons typically involve major injuries and deaths.

Same - mine only gets upset when I don’t share.

I always considered ankle biters are cats that bark.

Our English Lab scratched my leg trying to get up in my lap on the couch. It was pretty traumatic. My wife was running to get the taser.

I used to have a friend with three toy dachshunds (Max, Bruno, and Deiter) who, when you arrived at the house would go completely spastic, but once you were admitted, they became calm, and even friendly.

However, when you got up to leave and made any motion towards the door, they would gang up on you, barking furiously, their little jaws with those sharp teeth making audible snapping sounds as they bit at the air surrounding your lower extremities!

I never got bit, but every single time, it sure felt like you would, and often, you had to slide sideways out the partially opened door as they lunged at you, most often with one of the dogs owners cooing at them “Now boys, come on, behave!”

It was unnerving. I know exactly how those big dogs feel when a small dog is coming at them...all your “vulnerable” parts are within easy snapping and reaching distance of those aggressive little darling dogs of theirs!

My doxie is a mini black and tan. 2 years old. She drapes her neck over mine in the morning with lots of warm kisses to follow. Her older sister is a Rat Terrier who adores tummy rubs. Mornings are nice.
