Cathy, if you HAD to pick a breed to be good with your fuzzies, you couldn`t do much better than Beagles! They may be a hunting dog, but by scent-following techniques. Unless you have an aggressive male,(most uncommon), they are very gentle and a slow intro. to each other, of course supervised totally, should prove amusing and show areas that might need "tuning" between them. Also, being a Puppy, you`ll probably have to `rescue` the Puppy more often, from the `intense checking-out` by the fuzzers! Good luck, and ENJOY! john.jdr. [Posted in FML issue 4598]
