I have a small lab cross bitch who is submissive. I chose her
because of that. As my last bitch was domanent, I didn't
want to go threw that again. My lab cross is sweet natured,
and is now 2yrs old and spayed.Size wise she's in between a
cocker and a springer spaniel. My question is, would it be ok
to have a toy breed to go with her, I was thinking of a toy
poodle. I have owned a poodle before, a miniture she was my very
first dog. Over 30 yrs I have owned and loved 5 dogs, all
but one have been pedigree. Jill.

Hi guest,
I think a min or toy poodle and lab would get along quite well :) At least you'd only have one dog that would shed (or UK term -- Moult) :D :D
good luck on your search,
toodles
