Apparently your experience with this is about as good as your spelling.

My dog, from the time she was born to the time I picked her up, at 6 weeks, was raised side by side with kittens, she suckled the mom right along side a kitty. From the time, Keegan realized she was bigger than Kylie, I don't trust her with her. She is ok 50% of the time, the other 50% she is trying to eat her. I am not sure if I will ever be able to let Keegan out of the crate while Kylie is around and I am not there, I am afraid of the consequences. And some breeds, their prey drive is simply too strong to ignore.

A pateint breed with low or no prey drive. Gets along with other dogs, and animals and is cute as heck lol .. Oh ya and not hyper,,...

I think you can eliminate the Shiba from your list--they are cute as heck--but also very hyper. Ours in particular has a high prey drive (just for rodents), because that is what the breed was originally bred for. He also wasn't socialized well as a pup, and doesn't accept other dogs right away--but that's just my dog, they are all different. Oh, and Kito has no patience either.

maybe I should redo my perfect breed status eh?

Low or no prey drive, good tempered, good with other breeds.

is that better..

Not sure if she was trying to insult you, just making a comparison

Tikeya's mom, I apologize. I didn't know. I should have been more understanding. BUT that still doesn't change that I think you should try KayAnn and YellowLabLover's approach and go to the shelter rather than getting a purebreed.
(thanks kayann!!

I check out the Milwaukee Humane Society website everyday to see what new animals come in.

Everyone really needs to check this out, these dogs and puppies are beyond adorable. PLEASE! Ya gotta look at them.

Click here to see the pups

Tell me which one you like the best. I am madly in love with Vanilla. Those eyes.....I'm lost in them.....and that face.....it's too cute!

I have two huskies. Huskies are pack animals....therefore are much happier with another dog in the house. There are husky rescue groups all across the States - I volunteer for one. There are so many that need good homes....as opposed to going out and buying one.
