What Breed Of Dog Would You Suggest As A Calm, Gentle Dog To Be Trained As A Therapy Dog?

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I’m going to be getting a dog at the beginning of next summer, and will be certifying him/her with the Delta Society as a therapy dog. I would like to get a dog with a naturally calm and gentle temperament. What are some breeds you have seen to exhibit these characteristics?

What Cat Breed Is Generally The Most Friendly?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

I have two cats that I rescued from shelters (short hair mix and Siamese mix). I love them both to pieces, but they’re both incredibly mean. They bite and scratch and hiss at everything and they HATE to be picked up.

I’m thinking about getting another cat (like from a cat breeder this time) and I want to get a friendly cat that likes to be held. Any suggestions?

What Breed Of Dog Would Be The Most Compatible For Me And My Family?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

I live with my parents and my dad is talking about gettting a dog. We have 2 cats- one is almost 14 and the other one is 7 years old. Dad’s cat passed away in February of this year and he’s been talking about getting a dog ever since. Dad talks about getting a Lab or a border collie, but I don’t think either one of those dog breeds would be the most compatible with our 2 cats. Mom’s 7 year old cat is very territorial of the back porch and attacks any animal that comes on or near it and my 14 year old cat runs whenever an animal comes in the house. Mom’s alllergic to dog hair, so we can’t have a longhaired breed dog. What kind of dog gets along well with cats, because Dad’s starting to get serious about getting a dog?
