How do you feel about larger dogs around your little one?

Rotties are fabulous dogs. I dogsat one from the time he was 8 weeks old until 2 years old. He and Jackson were really wonderful together.

My mother, (Which is around often) has a white GS. That dog is Best Friends with Mickey. They get along VERY well. Mickey holds his grounds well. I just keep an eye on them. Would I trust him with any bigger dogs I wasn't familiar with.? NEVER.

The GS is actually really gentle with Mickey. Which I like....

I have 5 dogs, Bull, my yorkie, my 12 year old border collie Bonus, who is the love of my life, two mutts (big size, rescued as strays) and a tiny rescued Lhasa Apso. They all get along wonderfully. Bonus (border) has never ending patience with Bull who seems to have taken him as his role model. I think if we could ask Bull 'what do yuo want to be when you grow up?', he'd say 'I want to be like Bonus', LOL. Just Marley, the female mutt doesn't like Bull that much. She basically ignores him. Although there is peace at home, I never leave them alone together, I am afraid he gets ran over or tramp,ed on or whatever. So if I leave, Bull stays in his section of the house with Milly the Lhasa and he baby gate.

My 85lb Choc Lab and Belle love each other. They love to play together, with supervision. I will step in an desperate them if they get too rough. Myla could hurt Bella too easily.
