My home has been turned into a dog kennel for the weekend. We are watching our son's three dogs for the weekend. Add these three to my two and that gives me a big bunch of dogs -- all females. The breakdown is:
2 German Shepherds
1 Yellow Lab
1 Golden Retriever
1 Chiweenie (mix of chihuahua and dachshund
That's right, 4 bigs and 1 tiny. The chiweenie has grown up with the large dogs so she thinks she is a big dog also. It is fun watching them run around the yard. They all get along very well. They eat together without problems and have a great time barking at people as they walk by the house. Also, I have never seen poop accumulate so fast in the backyard.
I am building up my nerve to walk all five at one time. Right now, I take them two at a time and then walk the chiweene by herself. They walk pretty good on a leash, not perfect, but not too bad. I can usually control their pulling with a jerk on the leash -- as long as there are not cats around. Cats, or squirrels, and all bets are off.
I will have them all again next weekend, so I may wait until then to try to group walk.
Wish me luck.
