Do you guys think Frenchies like other Frenchies better than other breeds? I would have originally said no, that was a silly question, they don't know the difference (I'm pretty sure this is a run on sentence but it's been years since I was in school . The reason I ask is that, as you guys may know, our older mixed breed that was actually my daughter's dog, had to be put down a few months ago because her cancer had gotten the better of her. Her and Twiggy always got along. Neither really played with the other; both were more interested in people than dogs but they would even sleep on the same love seat and things like that. I am starting to think about another dog. I'm not one to rush in to this, as I take it as a VERY serious commitment. So, it may be a year or two or three, or 6 months. I really don't know. Just trying to decide what route I want to take. I will probably get an adult whatever I get. Twiggy is more of a people dog. She wants to be with people. She doesn't want to play with dogs or hang out with them. I was just wondering if you guys thought she may be more accepting of another Frenchie than something else? I know there is no way to really know. I am probably going to get a male whatever I get.
It's a hard decision because on one hand I LOVE Frenchies. They are my favorite breed no question. They are totally adorable and I love everything about them. I would love love love to have a boy. I can just imagine now have 2 piled up in the bed with me..heaven! On the other hand I would like to have something that could run with me (after being conditioned to it, of course). I don't run far but 3 to 5 miles several times a week. Frenchies can't do that. I also like to hike and stuff when we are camping and it's usually too hot for Frenchies to be out. I don't want anything too big. Maybe knee high no more than 30 pounds. I also don't want anything that needs major exercise. I have a Friend that runs her Border Collie 10 miles every morning and he comes home and brings her the frisbee to throw. I don't want that. I want something pretty calm. If I go the non Frenchie route I may just keep an eye on rescues and shelters. I like wire hair. I think that's cute so maybe a terrier mix of some sort. I'm pretty much just babbling. I just wanted everyone's opinions or ideas.
