Sometime in the future I would absolute love and want to get a friend for Molly but I have no idea what breed of dog would be best for her? She is a Yorkshire Terrier...

It's more about the personality of the dog and not the breed. I would recommend finding a rescue or shelter that might let you bring her to visitations or do a trial period with a new puppy or dog at home. You have to decide if you want a puppy, adult, large or small dog. Large and small dogs can get along but there could be more chance of a new large dog being able to hurt Molly. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2465 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1678 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1580 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1405 Take a look at these articles to see if they might help.
