I also have four indoor cats, again no problem. The Rottie is crated or in his dog run when I'm not home or can't properly supervise him. The rest of the time he's inside with everyone else. He even plays quite gently with my Maltese and snuggles with the cats.
Shame on those breeders and rescue groups for not recognizing a responsible, loving animal owner. I you are willing to adopt six greyhounds, you must love animals. If you can keep six large dogs in your house, then you must know what you are doing. Some rescue group become so picky, it's a wonder they ever find homes for their dogs and they give the rescue community a bad reputation in general. There are also some small dog people that can be quite snotty when it comes to any kind of large dog. I personally would purchase from a BYB before I went to a petstore, although neither are desirable. I hope you have better luck next time you look for a new baby. I hope I have better luck too! |
I can't thank you enough! Yes. they all live inside and there has not been a problem. The GH are muzzled when I leave due to the no hair and no fat and tight paper thin skin. If they run into a wall they can "pop" open. So when I am not home all are muzzled and Max is in his crate. Thank you again.!!
