I have had 4 dogs 1 I still have she's a 14 yr old Mini Aussi and she gets along great with our blended dog family my fiancé Bryan's Mini Schnauzer! 2 of the 4 dogs were fosters 1 I had for a little over a year (his daddy was overseas) and the 2nd 1 we have now, we expect to have her for about 6 mths, she's a sweetie! My whole family is involved with dogs, Bryan trains dogs for a living and my stepdaughter works at a boarder so we have all the dog stuff covered!!! Side note: this is my choice to do this, and my fiancé travels quite a bit for work, so when he's here it does come in pretty handy, but he will Not be training any dogs.
