Haha - we gave 4 cats; Abyssinian, Manx, Russian Blue & a Black Russian. The Abyssinian, she is the house ruler including over the alpha male dog. All the dogs avoid her & she keeps the other cats in line. Fascinating to watch power plays, cracks me up sometimes. She loves to chat
so as of tonight we now have 4 dogs & 4 cats.
The dogs are all working dogs, (2 retired now) my old girl (black lab) passed away in 2009 at 13. DB had already started working by then as a DDO so we knew we couldn't get another as a pet given we would keep the dogs after they retire - usually at about 8 yrs of age. DD no.3 got his defence medal in November & has about 2&1/2 yrs work left in him.

Your dogs sound interesting (can't say much more because I am a cat person  ).
However it is good that they have people like you and DB to care for them . |
