Okay. The local rescue has put up a beautiful Great Dane bitch, spayed, who's coming to the end of her life, and a wonderful, intelligent and seemingly well behaved Irish Wolfhound called Emma, who's at her peak, and has also been spayed. They came from a loving family who had to move, and have been fostered for 4mnths in a family until now. No training issues apparently, and when we were with them, they knew all the commands, and the Great Dane, Milly, just loved lying down.
I've fostered a Boxer before, and I used to have two German Shepherds when I was twenty four, and as a kid I had a Bernese Mountain Dog. But God those dogs are big. I have three kids- DD, DSD and DSS. 7, 5 and 4. RSPCA said they would probably be fine, but we are using baby gates for the bedrooms (we don't want them to clamber onto the beds when they're sleeping) and will sleep in a large converted garage, which we used as a playroom until now.
Adoption papers have been signed. I've walked them. Home checks and tests have been completed. We now own two giant dogs, to be collected tomorrow morning.
Anyone else have two big dogs? How do you cope?
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
The doghouse
Why did I ever agree to getting these two dogs?
