Do Weiner Dogs And Labs Make Good Friends? Would They Enjoy Hanging Out While Home Alone?
We already have a one year old chocolate labrador who loves going to the dog park and swimming at the lake. However, we were looking for a friend for our lab to have while we’re away at work, and hopefully for her to play with as well. The dog we’ve had in mind is a weiner dog, because they’re adorable. So, my question is, how well would weiner dogs and labradors get along and would they play together?

sure i have a pit and a weiner dog and they love each other to death.. but the weiner dog is the boss lol!!!
I have both and they are the best of friends. I have a mini-dachshund, their is obviously a size difference, but the mini can hold his own when playing, he even pins the lab down… but she lets him. They are pretty cute together actually. You do have to keep an extra eye on them, my two like to play rough, and the mini has gotten hurt. But for the most part since he is smaller, he can run right under her, and escape…. They also let each other know when they are playing to rough… every once in a while you’ll hear a yelp and that will be the end of it. If your lab gets along with smaller dogs then go for it. I really lucked out and have to great dogs.
We have both and although they get along fine, they don’t play together. Labs are much bigger than a dachshund and have much energy and many dachshunds just can’t keep up because of heir short legs. You didn’t say if you were thinking of a mini-dachshund or a standard because a standard might be a better choice if you really want a dachshund.
