Hi my name is Lisa, I live in Canada British Columbia. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse. My husband and I plan to get a Savannah f1 or f2 this fall. (After a few trips and some small Reno's) We have 2 other pets. A Bearded Dragon, & a 3 year old Siberian husky.
I have done a lot or research and continue to keep finding more and more information. I have found a local breeder with amazing quality kittens.
I'm concerned with the introduction of my husky and a kitten. My female husky luna is extremely curious. I don't know how it would be possible in any size house to have a kitten for two weeks without her knowledge.
I understand the importance of isolating the kitten while it adjusts to its surroundings. This is what I planned to do. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
In our master bedroom I planned to have a large tall cat post with a window view. I plan to have the litter box in the on suite bathroom for the kitten during the two week transition. During the day our dog is never aloud in the bedroom. I planned to keep the kitten in the bedroom with the dog in the rest of the house. I think it's important to have the kitten sleep with us to get used to routine. Weather it's on our bed or on its cat post. The dog sleeps on her own bed in the other corner of the room. And is only aloud on the bed when she is invited up.. Would this be too overwhelming for a kitten if she is introduced to the dog within the two week only under our supervision?
My other option is to keep the kitten isolated in the spare bedroom. But it's a lot smaller.
There is no possible way to not introduced the kitten to our dog within the first couple days.
Because the breeder is local I was thinking about bringing blankets that have our smell or the dogs smell to get the kitten pre - adjusted to us. And vice versa. Give the dog kitten blankets.
Will this even matter? Am I over thinking this whole situation?
My dog has never been around cats and gets excited with new things. She calms down when she is adjusted. But I just want to make sure I do everything for both animals safety.

& I'm in our room he has no problem jumping on me, straight up my leg! He's been here ~2 weeks & I am his safe spot...because of size differences between Mojo, Tigger, & Eddie... Eddie will be in quarantine another week
...Tigger is very exuberant & Mojo stand offish...
(English Mastiff) is laid back & snorts at the door; Eddies offered paws to the 
nose!
I'm actually thinking of introducing George
. Great start to a lifetime friendship!
