Poodles don't shed- that's why they are cross bred with Golden Retrievers and Labs to get Goldendoodles and Labradoodles. I see them all around and they would be a good mid-size dog. You might need to do some research on what generation (if any) sheds the least. You'll want a dog that will be gentle with your Daschunds. I have some Shih Tzus and a standard poodle was recommended by my breeder, so I have a 50 lb female and she's great with them and they love her. Still, she's big by comparison and could easily hurt them by accident. If I had it over, I might consider a Goldendoodle as I like the traits of the Golden Retriever. Or the Tibetan Terrier or Wheaton Terrier I would check out as well. I would get another dog while you still have at least two, so there will still be a friend when you're down to one Daschund.
My oldest dog Bodhi is my heart and he's 14 years old, but perfectly healthy, although nearly deaf. I think some of the accidents around the house are from him, but my house has no carpeting, so it's not a big deal.
