Thinking of getting a frenchie as a second dog

[phamv85]

Hello,

I have a 10 month maltipoo. She has been a wonderful dog. She's very obedient but a little shy. I've been an admirer of Frenchies for a while and am thinking of getting a Frenchie as a companion and playmate for my maltipoo. I've done some research and it seems that Frenchies like to play rough. My malitpoo is only 8lbs. She'll probably be able to play with a Frenchie puppy but I'm worry that as the Frenchie gets older and bigger he might hurt her when they play.

Has anyone here own a toy breed dog and a Frenchie at the same time? Did you have any issues between the two dogs?

Thanks!

Frenchie puppy will probably annoy the heck out of a maltipoo lol, but it will work itself out.

How is your maltipoo with other dogs? If you think she would enjoy having a sibling, then I say go for it. Puppies can be annoying, so I would just make sure that you give her a break from the puppy in a x-pen or crate. Good luck with your decision.

I already had a 6 year old female Frenchie and recently got a 2 year old female English bulldog and the new girl irritates my Frenchie to no end. I think it depends on the Frenchie- mine is older so maybe it doesn't apply to your situation but she isn't interested in playing with anything other than with a ball.
