Oh boy, that's a toughie. I've not had the dog/cat situation, just cat/cat. My RB Peeka hated Pigeon and stalked her and beat her up every day! Poor Pidge lived most of her life under my bed. I felt so awful about it but they just could not occupy the same space. I worried that Pidge was terribly unhappy but considering the life she was rescued from, I figured she was better off w/me.

My friend Suzy and I just recently rehomed Kiara the cat from a home where the family had a vicious dog that attacked Kiara twice, both times to the point of needing surgery, the last of which required partial removal of her tail. Aside from the fact that the family allowed it to happen twice , we felt so bad for Kiara that she had to stay in one room, always on edge, wondering if/when she was going to be attacked again. Please understand that I'm not saying that's the case in your household. I'm merely stating the state of affairs at that time. Kiara now lives w/Suzy and 7 other cats. It took a while to acclimate her but now she's part of the family and Suzy has no intention of trying to rehome her again.

I'm sorry if it seems that I made this about Kiara and not Brody. I didn't mean to. I just thought that maybe telling you the story might help you make a decision. You know Brody and your dogs better than anyone and I know that you would never intentionally put Brody in harm's way. Hopefully, other PTers will offer suggestions and perhaps a solution.
