Has anyone here added a puppy into the home with adult savannas? If so, please share experiences. I've been trying for 5 yrs to get over the idea of having a dog (it's one of the reasons I chose SVs -- dog-like behavior without all the other hassle), but I can't seem to shake the idea.
After endless hours of research, I've settled on the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as the best option as far as a temperament that historically gets along with non canine pets. Ironically, I spoke to a few Cavie breeders at a dog show this past weekend and they described some of their behaviors as "cat like."
I'm scheduling a consultation with an animal communicator I've used in the past to see if I can get the cats' opinion on the prospect. Won't do it if they don't agree. And I'm still weighing the pros and cons. Ideally, I would prefer an older puppy or an older dog but thought it might go easier if I started with a young pup.
Any advice, tips, suggestions?
