I have 3 dogs currently. One senior pitbull (spayed female), she is almost 12 years old and was a rescue that ive had for almost 6 years now. Next is a 2yr old intact male pit that I got as a 5 week old pup. He is still working on his training but listens to me very well. Last but not least is a 3lb, 5 yr old Pomeranian that thinks she rules the roost (typical small dog syndrome, lol) None of my dogs are aggressive to people or other animals that I have ever seen. The Pomeranian doesn't like small children because they move to fast for her but she tries her best to keep up with the pits when they play together. I do have an area off the side of my house (off the kitchen door) that is fenced in that my dogs use daily. I do not believe any dog should be a yard ornament and should never be left outside on a chain. My dogs are like my children and sleep in my bed, on my couch and pretty much anywhere they want. I do have chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and a turkey but they are penned up as well. My dogs don't bother the birds but if you have a chicken aggressive dog, just let me know ahead of time and I will make sure your dog doesn't have access to the chicken fence, it will not be a deal breaker.
