Even in dogs, females are more often dominant than males. Easiest fit into a home

with a Siberian cat or two will be a non Alpha, non Beta male puppy.

Before going to meet puppies, first research how to assess canine

temperament in a puppy litter. You want to chooose the “middle of the road” puppy - easy going,

calm, curious, not  hyper, not dominant, not anxious or shy.

A middle of the road puppy will be comfortable in the group, not push for

dominance and bond to both human and furred family members.

Be very clear - no wavering - with your behavior boundaries, 

especially for barking, chasing, and jumping.

With clear expectations, your puppy will comfortably grow

into a happy, gentle, and well behaved member of your pack.
