Pets - 25 August 2007

Looking for opinions on breeds that do well with children, but are naturally wary of strangers and protective of the household. I know that any dog will bark to protect its owner, but prefer the larger guardian breeds such as the GSD, Bullmastiff, and Rottweiler, etc. I'm currently in my early 20s and single, but expect to have children during the dog's lifespan and would prefer to look for a breed that is known to do well with kids. At the same time, I do not like to own overly friendly and outgoing dogs such as spaniels and retrievers (although they are great dogs for the right type of person). Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially from those who have owned guardian breeds and later brought kids into the house. Thanks!

She will be arriving at my house on September 5th. She is white with brown spots. Has a brown patch over one eye. I think they call it bi-bald, or something like that. She is soooo cute!!! I'd like a cute or traditional name for her.
Thanks!

I just got a kitten, and I found out I was allergic! He isn't neutered yet, could that be the reason? Also, I read that female cats produce less Fel d1 (the allergen) than males. Is that true?

A Siberian Husky mix found her way into my yard about 3 weeks ago. Im not sure what the other beed is, but I can tell she is part husky.She had knots in her fur, plaque buildup on her teeth. She also had ear mites and worms. I took her to the vet and got her treated. Thank god she came back heartwarm negative. I posted found posters all over town and no one came to clame her. Should I take the posters down and clame her as my pet, or should I keep the posters up a little longer? I already contacted the animal shelter to let them know she is at my house. They also know what condishion she was in when I found her.

My cat LOVES the outdoors, but she is an indoor cat. So I got her a harness, because I really want her to be outside and be happy. I know cat's aren't made for a leash, and when I put the harness on her, she was going crazy! So right now, I'm putting it on her a few minutes at a time, and giving her treats and petting her like crazy, do you guys have any better methods? thankyou!
