Hello. I was wondering what your thoughts of adding a DDB (puppy most likely female) into a house with other animals would be. We currently have a 5mo BM male, 3 cats, and 3 ferrets. I have heard that DDB have a high prey drive and can be unfriendly towards other dogs. But I also heard that about Bullmastiffs too and it is FAR from the truth with Castle.
We are very active with our current dog and nothing would change. Any future puppy would be heavily socialized and supervised around the other animals. I would say that I am a strong "alpha" personality type when it comes to Castle and my fiancé is a playful but firm parent. Castle is probably medium to submissive temperament towards other dogs and not aggressive at all. He has yet to meet any dog that he doesn't like and we want to get a playmate for him in the spring. I've heard DDB are somewhat uncommon so I thought I would start scouting now. Are they drastically different than BMs, as far as breed personality, health concerns, diet and exercise requirements? Any advice would be great. Thank you.
