I have a seventh month lab. Would it be a good idea to get a chihuahua or white west highland terrier?
west highland terrierMy lab is very friendly but hasn’t been around other dogs besides a stay at the vet where they gave her puppy play time with dogs her size. I was considering getting a chihuahua or a white west highland terrier. Would it be a good idea? If so which dog would get along better with my lab?
I would be super hesitant to get another dog when your lab is only 7 months. They stay puppy-like a lot longer than other breeds and you could end up with way too much puppy-ness on your hands.
Hold off on the second dog for a while and maybe check out your local shelters. You might just come across the perfect friend for your lab in a breed you hadn’t considered before!

No. the Lab is still too young and boisterous at that age, he would frighten a small dog I would wait until the Lab matures a bit ,which will probably take about 12 -18 months.:) Perhaps a dog more to the Labs size.

It is impossible to say. Dogs have varied personalities just like people.

Enjoy the early years of this dog and then when it gets a big older and mellower get another puppy.
