ASDs And Other Animals
The ASD is naturally dog aggressive to some extent, some more so than
others. This is one of the most common reasons owners give when
relinquishing their ASD to a shelter or rescue group.
Generally speaking, it is best to have dogs of opposite gender for a
more harmonious cohabitation. It is possible to have multiple dogs of
one gender living together, but it takes work and time. It does not
happen overnight. Proper introductions are required when adding an ASD
to your home, be it working or pet.
Keep in mind even with proper introductions, and doing "all the right
things", harmony within your animal family may be just in your dreams.
It is virtually impossible to "make" a dog accept another dog or cat,
etc. It is also important to remember the size and strength of these
dogs. A small dog or cat can be easily killed in an instant with one
shake of the head.
Please take into consideration all of these factors before deciding to
add an ASD to your home if you already have other family pets.
In summary, yes, it is possible for an ASD to get along with other
family pets if proper introductions are made and if
given time for all
parties involved to adjust to one another.
