What does everyone think about this combination?

**Like A Boxer** · 06-25-2008, 02:09 PM

I know I have seen Ramsey and Pablo videos (the chi & dobe pair) on YouTube. I, as some of you know, am absolutelyyyy ITCHING to get a doberman of my own once I move out. But what does everyone think of getting a Toy Fox Terrier AND a Doberman? Not at the same time. I'm not worried about the dobe being "AGGRESSIVE" per se, just wondering if anyone has experience with Dobermans around super small dogs. Trust me, I don't like TFTs because they're cute or tiny or Paris Hilton dogs. I don't want to carry them around in my purse, dress them up in cute tutus or fluffy t-shirts that say "That's hot" or anything I just like their personalities. Please, any honest advice is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Raised my first dobie girl with a small boston terrier. She loved that boston terrier, both girls too.

I want a chihuahua so i can dress it up and carry it around! whats wrong with that? lol.
I think it is adorable, I personally also dress up my dobe.
There is nothing wrong with dressing up our dog so long as you remember it is a dog and not a fashion acessory. IMO

LOL. No I see nothing wrong with dressing up a dog. My dog has her own winter jacket. But I know people (personally met quite a few) while I worked at Petsmart that bought a dog because they thought "there's no better accessory than a dog in a pink dress." That's what I meant lol.

We've got a fox terrier (but not a toy one) and a Dobe. They have a wonderful relationship. Charlie (my Dobe) absolutely adores Zippy (my partner's fox terrier), and vice-versa. She pushes him around, mostly because he's big and boingy so there's quite a bit of "Grrrr, wotchit, pal, I'm down here!". He will let her do anything with him, and if they're ever apart for any time he's ecstatic to see her again.

She's quite nervous of strange dogs and if we're in the park and Charlie sees her getting nervy about some dog, he trots back and escorts her past the dog.

There's some footage of them together on my Charlie vid here: YouTube - The Life and Times of Baron Charlie Doberman

I've got MinPins and a Doberman?! Mocha is fine with small dogs, she had to learn how to play gentle but that's about it.
