When I first met my wife, she had a Daschund, I was never a little dog person, I grew up with a Lab/Chessie mix that was one of the best dogs ever. My room mate had a cat, I wasn't trilled with it, but it was a pet, he paid for the up keep and his closet was the cats crapper. After my wife and I married, that daschund became one of my best friends. He pased away due to a seisure, most upexpectantly. I missed that dog as much as my lab/chessie. My wife and I talked it over and we decied that we would wait till our second child was born(she was pregnant with Kendall at the time) and became a little older, but due to the overwhelming issues that Kendall(and my Wife) has had, we still hadn't gotten a dog. I kept talking about it to my wife, even found a litter of lab/chessies(a whole another story) but ended up getting another dashund(black and tan this time), we are going thru the whole house training thing, and yes at times he's mroe trouble than he's worth, but he's part of our family.
