Am I wrong to avoid bigger dogs while I have kids due to thinking that they are higher maintence?

How do I introduce 2 small dogs to each other that are both fairly new to the family? I adopted a 1 year old female Miniature Dachshund about a month ago, and she knows my parents and me pretty well. Because my mother missed her pug that died recently, she then decided to adopt a 2 year old male Chihuahua. I've been up at our summer home alone for a week with the Doxie, and my parents will soon arrive with the new Chihuahua. My Doxie likes to chase animals (birds, squirrels) and bark at neighbors while she's outside, and she barks at everything at the window. I'm pretty sure she'll be barking at the newer dog. What things can I do to help create a positive relationship between the 2 small dogs? Do I assertively push the dog to the ground in a submissive position like Cesar does when they first see each other? Do I walk them together first? Eventually they will need to sniff each other. What should I do then to prevent a fight? Should I even expect a fight? Do these 2 breeds just have barks louder than their bites? Thanks.

How should I fix my small backyard for 3 small dogs? My problem is that the backyard is only about 30/20ft. and half of it is wood decking. The other half is wood chips and mud and I have 3 small dogs and if it rains at all thier small paws go through the wood chips and get very muddy. To compound the problem my back door is off of my bedroom so the minute I let them in they jump on my bed w/ muddy paws and track the mud all over my small 700sq ft. living space.
