I'd go for it with monitoring. How many littles? 4? She may be a great little mentor and love the company.

Thanks mutt. That's what I'm hoping anyway. Guess I won't know till I try.

Thank you, oh wise one!

I don't think breeding is in my future (too hard to part with pups, so I'd end up with waaaay oto many dogs) so a dog of either sex would be rendered reproductively neutral. (How's that, Twist? Instead of saying fixed. ) In my experience, the females were more intense, but also smarter in a way, a better companion. The last two females I've had (not RRs), raised as single dogs by me, seemed to challenge the boundaries every so often. I realized I want a dog that is going to be a bit more laid back. I have experience, and know what to do, but I don't want to face constant challenges. I will study the Volhard lesson well. And I will get a puppy without having to work or raise kids, so no distractions.

Now, do you have any advice on how to break this plan to my husband?

It will be a few years at least. Belle has too much trouble walking with her bad knee to deal with a puppy.

Me thinks only scavengers. He/she is way too odd for me.

I raised 2 massive Orpington juvies with my tiny Seramas. Orpingtons grew up respecting their elders. They could have inflicted serious damage if they wanted.


Figgy Pudding (Orp), in the back, with the much smaller members of her flock.



Lola is a small Marans, and she got on well with the littles.


Mo the tiny rooster compared to Buster Posey, who was not fully grown yet. I did eventually move the large birds in with my big girl layer flock.
