I was very worried about introducing Pandora to the dogs when I first got her. Almost every dog I have ever owned had the kill the small furry thing instinct. Bark(lab/coonhound/pit)went right for the cage teeth bared and snarling. No matter how much I tried to get his attention with treats or toys, he just wanted at the ferret. Now Butch(you name the breed he had it)was just the opposite. He sniffed at the cage then went and laid down. When I took Pandora out to let them meet face to face he gave her a sniff and then ignored her even when she would chase his tail. He became my ferret finder. When they were loose and I would lose track of them I would ask Butch to find them and he never let me down. My SO's family rott is scared stiff of them. So it really just depends on the dog's personality. I would personally chose something with a laid back attitude. I'm not real fond of hyper dogs anyway.
