If you're worried about them being hard to train I say don't be with out trying it first.
I rescued a 10 yr. old shepherd that had been chained outside his whole life. He was one of the easiest dogs to train that I've ever met. (Housetraining - he just was... no training involved, manners around humans, not going in the garbage, etc. was all a cinch.)
Other than going into the garbage this stray street dog has even better house manners than the shepherd did which i didn't think was possible.
As for the other problem would it be possible to build a separate run for Tippy for when Buelah is out there? Anyways i though it would be better to have an all enclosed one because of hawks and stuff if you're not going to keep an eye on her all the time. Small dogs really shouldn't be left unattended anyhow for so many reasons.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
