  We study the formation of dark-bright vector soliton pairs in nonlocal
Kerr-type nonlinear medium. We show, by analytical analysis and direct
numerical calculation, that in addition to stabilize vector soliton pairs
nonlocal nonlinearity also helps to reduce the threshold power for forming a
guided bright soliton. With help of the nonlocality, it is expected that the
observation of dark-bright vector soliton pairs in experiments becomes more
workable.
