Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, so by way of introduction, my name is Josh--nice to be here. My wife and I have a question for you all about dachshunds and larger dogs, namely a standard poodle, who runs about 45-55 pounds give or take. I want the poodle and she wants the dachshund, however she is afraid that a large dog will put the dachshund at risk when they play for a back injury. Is there anything to this fear? We know that in general the breed can have back problems, so we want to make sure. Do you have large dogs living alongside your doxies?
