Where could I find a dog besides Vile's? That dog was horrible to have around, always pushing and getting in the way.

Where can I get a really strong companion that is good with a bow? (I'm at lvl 25, and in a room with 3 mages and 3 conjours things can get dicey and need to focus on healing myself not healing hands my npc...Lydia aint cutting it)

Is one sold outside Markath?

Look for Meeko, the dog. His shack is near Dragonsbridge.. though I can't remember which direction at the moment.

I don't know about archer companions, but I think you could find one that suits your needs in Dawnstar. He has strong destruction spells, though I haven't seen him heal himself.

Spoiler quest "Waking Nightmare":

Well, dogs are pretty underpowered and pretty annoying - die easily and always underfoot.

I've found mages aren't good when in a friendly group, like with the imperials, cause they end up hitting a friendly and incurring their wrath.

I been rolling with the Dunmer girl from Whiterun/Drunken huntsman for a while, and now I'm running with the Khajiit from the caravan.

There is Meeko, a Dog that I found at Meeko's Camp. There is a dead NPC in the Shack on the bed, and you have to start a conversation with the Dog, (the dog does not talk), to tell him he can follow you.
