[nagdu] having many dogs

[Julie J.]

Larry and Marilyn,

Maybe I missed what you were saying.  Both of my dogs are fine with 
other dogs, even in large groups.  When I board them, they go to a 
lady's home, not a traditional kennel.  the dogs sleep in crates at 
night and for rest breaks, but most of the time they all mingle together 
in a pack.  She does split the little dogs into one group and the big 
dogs into another to keep the little ones from getting trampled.  Pretty 
much they run, romp, dig, bark and have a jolly good doggie time all 
together.  Both of my dogs love it over there.

My parent's dogs have not had the same opportunities to run and 
socialize with other dogs.  The males are also intact.  I honestly have 
no idea how they might do with new dogs in their space.  My parents seem 
to think it would not be a good idea.  At any rate, I'm not willing to 
push the issue.

Julie
