>From: Kristina Borgstrom <[log in to unmask]> > >...But alas my dear husband wants a dog to round out our zoo. We plan >on adopting from the NSPCA or Best Friends. So the question is which >breeds have a low to non existant prey drive?... our border collie mix is a wonderful dog with all animals- wouldnt hurt a mouse- literally! they are herders & it is ahoot watching him try to herd ferrets! our bichon poodle mis wrestles with the ferrets & they love it- bichon is better than poodle tho- poodles are hunting dogs actually- and our mini weiner dog is great with them too- but remeber dachshunds were originally bred to catch weasels so there may be some instinct left too- i think her being a mini helped :) it is wonderful of you tor esearch first what type of dog will be best!! it is so frustrating when people say oh i thought dogs were fine with ferrets- well it depends on the breed- and the individual dog as well- but defiantely go with a non hunting breed- border collie is best i think- beth www.crittercamp.biz [Posted in FML 5904]
