Comment to 'What breed of "guard dog" is best for ME & my'
  • Hi New2Neos I think you posted the same sort of question on another site? First of all, no matter which breed of dog you choose until you get the idea out of your head that your Shih Tzu is not number one and both dogs will be equal, I see no point in considering getting another dog. If you dont do that then the new dog will consider your Shih Tzu a pampered pet and treat it accordingly. You have to realise your dogs are pets, not children (although you should treat your children the same and not favour one more than the other). I tend to agree with Eyes of Fire and until you except constructive criticism about why you are asking the question in the first place about which dog will get on with your Shih Tzu, you will not go forward in your thinking and you shouldnt be considering a new dog with so much negativity in your mind. I agree you need to choose wisely which breed of dog. But once chosen and you purchase say an 8 week old pup, mostly you will have you work cut out 'training' your Shih Tzu into accepting your new pup along with training your new pup the basics which everyone has to do with a new pup. The pup will not be your problem but the 'spoilt pouch' you are so worried about. Take a step back and ask yourself why you were asking the question in the first place and consider some of the answers, which so far on reading are good. Good Luck Lynn
