So...
 
I have a long haired miniature dachshund as my studio dog. Small of stature, large in voice. Because I'm a metal head of course. Would you call that being prejudicial or predestined?

Get him an appropriate collar and you've got something.

Long haired dachshund are so lovely!
 
We have two dogs - a dachshund and a dachshund/pit bull mix. I would NEVER allow either of them in my studio. Let's just say we're not all that compatible. I get along better with bigger dog, but I'm definitely more of a cat person. A crazy cat person.
 
Out of our 10 cats, only Googlie is allowed in the studio, and only when I'm not working, just listening to music. 
 

 

 

 
She seems to enjoy Beethoven almost as much as I do...
