I think this depends on the circumstances. I have had 3 dogs back in CA for the last 15 years. The 2 older and bigger dogs past away and left my doxie alone. She seemed to do fine. Because we were planning to retire we did not replace the big dogs. We just moved into the Villages and have my mom's doxie also (my dogs brother). What a difference in maintenance. Before it was so easy to go somewhere, so much less poop. Two are much more agressive with other dogs. They are cute together, but I am not convinced that mine is that upset when she gets all my attention. Just my two cents.
