This past Friday, we had to say good-bye to our dog Kenya after she somehow ruptured two disks in her lover back and couldn't walk. She was a great dog, and very gentle and forgiving of the ferrets...and will be missed! However, due to the breeds health issues (Weimeraner) we have decided to look for something smaller. The wife was thinking about a mini Collie, or something like that. What I was wondering, is what breed of dogs do others in the FML family have around their ferrets. I know what types to avoid, but not so much about what breeds are really good around the weasels. The dog needs to be very gentle and understanding, since our ferrets are all "free roam". Our last two dogs, Bear was 16 when he left, and Kenya both were very tolerant of the weasels, up to the point where they would nose their way through Bear's shaggy fur just to bite his feet. :) Kenya would only become vocal when they would climb over her to get somewhere. Any good input on puppy choice is welcomed! Thanks Jim Kennedy, Director Ferret Rescue of Maine A State licensed, 501c3 Non-profit shelter.
