We currently have 20 something ferrets and 4 dogs. Keeshound, Sheltie, Med Mixed breed and a Pomeranian. Know the history of the animals and temperment is the big plus. All of our ferrets get along with our dogs except one. We were told when we adopted him he will go after a dog and he has. A few times we'd forgotten to send the dogs downstairs before letting the boys out of their room. Only to find Bobby running after one, the dog running, with us trying to get the dog to come to you while trying to grab the ferret. He at times he would grab onto their back leg and just hang on, when all the while the dog is running and we are running trying to catch the dog to grab the ferret. It is kind of funny (poor dog)! Anyway be prepared to keep the ferrets and dog apart if they don't get along. Best wishes Jody [Posted in FML 6296]
