My husband and I are moving in with one of his co-workers and renting a house on the other side of town. We hope to move around February so that gives us some time to organize and gradually introduce all of the animals. She has 2 cats but both are very shy and hide all the time. We are bringing 4 cats into the house. She also rescues dogs and currently at the house (she lives at the house we are going to be moving into. We are just taking over the other 2 bedrooms) she has 5 dogs: 2 hounds, 1 rottweiler, 1 mix, and 1 pitbull. All of the dogs are super sweet, especially the rottweiler and the pit.

I'm bringing one dog into the house, but he is a tiny dog in comparison to the dogs she has. She's only keeping 2-3 of the dogs that are currently there. The rottweiler is her baby and she might be keeping one of the hounds and she wants to find a home for the pit but he will be staying with us until that happens. My dog is a dachshund. I am not in any way saying that rottweilers or pitbulls are without a doubt going to kill my dog. I'm not that stupid. I don't like breed stereotypes. BUT, I am concerned about the fact that my dog is much smaller than these dogs, and we will be coming into THEIR territory. I'm just worried there might be an issue with that and how to best move my animals over without any problems. All cats and dogs will have free roam around the house and back yard.

Also, I'm slowly falling in love with this pit. His name is Magee and he is such a huge teddy bear. I was sitting on the couch with the rottweiler and we had all just come in from outside and Magee got up on the couch and cuddled up next to me. He laid his head on my arm and he was sooooo cute! He's such a furnace too! That boy puts out so much heat. Now, my husband and I were looking into getting a doberman from a friend of ours that shows and breeds them, but I find myself falling for this pit. He does have a biting issue, but it is a playful bite. Now I know that biting from any dog should be discouraged and the dog should be trained to not bite, even in play, and we are working with him on this. He responds well to commands.

So any advice for me?
