[QUOTE="klmno, post: 261347, member: 3699"] LOL! There is probably truth in that philosophy! Maybe someone can help me out with this one- I'm not sure if it would be a big problem or an easy way to "even" things out. My lap dogs are obviously used to their routine and having priviledges, etc. OK- they are spoiled. They get on furniture and sleep in our beds- but they are about 20 lbs. The rules would be different for any large dog brought here to live. However, GSD's, as well as other herders, need a "job". If I got one, there would have to be time I spent with it during transition and training that my lap dogs would not be a part of. on the other hand, the GSD would not be sleeping in my bed and getting some things that the lap dogs do. Then, after maturity, the GSD could lay on the floor in the living room in front of the fireplace, but not on my lap on the sofa. The lap dogs could still snuggle on the sofa. The GSD would have more outside time, and there would be times I (or difficult child) would be outside throwing a stick for the dog to go fetch but the lap dogs would be in the house. Is that a setup for disaster or can that work? [/QUOTE]
