In regards to the dog breed question, my Dobermans get along great! (My old girl was 8 when we got the first one, the pup was 9 mos. and a rescue) My mom's cocker pees and runs from them, and sisters Border Collie licks her chops and would love to eat them... For the cat person, My one Balinese hates the ferts-she has claws, growls and runs away. She does not hurt them. The declawed cat loves them. I give my ferts T/D cat for treats to help with the tartar. I also give them the hairball food for treats. The vet said it was a good idea. [Posted in FML issue 2991]
