    Since you have a big dog you wouldn't want a small one, just for safety

    Black and Tan Coonhound

    Harrier

    Irish Setter

    Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen

    Bernese Mountain Dog

    Golden Retriever

    Labrador Retriever

    Poodle

    If you can't find any good dogs to get along with yours, You should meet up with a dog for sale and see if the dog is right for you. Look for personality more than the breed. :)

    ● "Breed of dogs that get along with other dogs?"

    There are very few breeds that are kept as part of a pack. The classic example was the Foxhound - youngsters that preferred to be individuals were killed during or at the end of their hunting season. As so many countries now ban fox hunting, you are probably going to have difficulty finding a hunt-master. But Foxhounds that are not run as a hunting pack are NOT selected for that "pack cohesiveness" so are NOT going to have the trait you seek.

    Most dog-breeds do not have pack cohesiveness EXCEPT during a period when the breeder is lucky enough to have ONE genuine "alpha" bỉtch and ONE genuine "alpha" stud, each of which rules the other members of their own gender.

    ● "I have a pomsky currently and I was wondering what breed of dogs would get along with a big dog?"

    I would have thought that the Pomeranian genes would bring the size down to close to that of a Shetland Sheepdog. and so a Pomsky would NOT be "a big dog". To me, a BIG dog is taller than a German Shepherd Dog or a Labrador Retriever. However, as the Pomsky is NOT an actual BREED, all sorts of matings can get labelled as "Pomskies".

    You are probably better to look for a member of a controlled scenting-&-indicating breed, such as the hunting Spaniels, or a calm Shetland Sheepdog.

    But it is ESSENTIAL that

    💘#1: Your first pet is WELL-TRAINED (so it sets a GOOD example for the new pup to copy) and neutered BEFORE you look for another, and

    💘#2: whatever you get is the OPPOSITE SEX to your current pet. See, at some stage in the age range 10-to-40 months, its status within its own sex becomes important to most pooches. But the ranking for bỉtches is totally separate from the ranking for dogs, and so there is almost never conflict between a dog and a bỉtch except when HE insists that she smells "interesting" and SHE snarls "I have a headache today, dear!".

    And you must look at the attitudes of the INDIVUALS, not expect all members of a breed to be the same. I hope you don't believe that every Chinaman is the same, every Filippino is the same, every Italian is the same, every Zulu is the same.
