Dogs and Puppies

Kinlow asked:


I know there are many considerations to make in choosing the breed of dog that is right for your family, but this is a big one for me. I have two cats with no dog experience and I would really like to see them all get along. Not only do I not want them to fight, but I want them to be friends.

Open to just about any suggestions. We like big dogs, small dogs, everything in between, and active dogs as well as lap dogs. We’re not too picky.

I have a small Chipoo (Chiuaua and Poodle mix) and whenever I take her out to the park, other small dogs try to get her to play with them. But all she does is scream and cry and hide between my legs. She is deathly afraid of dogs, yet she gets along with my cat just fine. How do I get her to get along with other dogs?

I have a 5.5 month old samoyed puppy. She is fairly well trained, although a bit stubborn, and plays very well with other dogs. She also loves all people. Next week we are going to a friend’s house for spring break (only staying one night) and they have two cats. One is a neutered male somewhere between 2 and 6 years old (I’m not sure), and the other is an unspayed female between 1 and 5 years old.
The only time my puppy has seen cats was at the vets office, when she saw them in crates recovering from operations. She barked and growled at them then, so I don’t know how she’ll respond to seeing a normal, alert cat. She does have a hunting instinct toward small animals (she’s killed a few mice in the backyard) but she is still friendly toward very small dogs. The cats have never lived with dogs. Can you please give me some tips on introducing the puppy to the cats? Thanks in advance.
I’d rather not keep them seperated because I eventually plan on getting a cat. Otherwise, thanks for the answers so far!

My family is wanting to get a large dog, we don’t care for small dogs that bark too much. But we are a little confused when it comes to the breed of dog we want because we hear about dogs that have bad temperments and are not good with children. We have three children ages are 10, 7, 5. We just need a dog that would be a good watch dog, but gentle and loving with our kids. Can anyone help?
We want to keep him inside, so we need a breed that would house train easily, too.

I know a lot of small dogs can bark a lot which I would like to avoid, but a large dog is impractical for my one bedroom flat. This will be my first dog on my own as well. Any information would be appreciated.

I have a great dane and am getting a small dog (12 pounds). He is very considerate of other dogs when socializing. But- just in case I would like to ask anyone who has a big dog and small dog how they got there big dog to be considerate (not step on, not bite, and to be easy playing) of the small dog. I would like to know about how people taught their big dogs that. Also I would like to ask how to introduce a big dog to a small dog. We are getting our small dog second, since we already have a big dog. Does that make a difference? Thank you.
