regarding lots of animals - i would concur with the previous followup,
good training is very important.  if you can't handle good training,
then keep the animals away from guests etc.
we have four dogs (a champion weimaraner, a beagle mix, an aged and
unfriendly-to-strangers chihuahua, and an unusual chihuahua-yorkshire
mix, the ugliest, friendliest dog in the world), a cat, a six-foot boa,
a turtle w/ misc fish, and numerous rodents (snake food).  none of the
free-roaming animals are allowed on the furniture, all are well house
trained.  when necessary (e.g. guests over for dinner) we segregate
the dogs off in their "own" room, mostly to eliminate the inevitable
begging for food and/or attention.
there is nothing unusual or weird about enjoying pets - in fact, i often
think that the people who don't like pets are suffering from some deep-
seated latent psychosis :-)  however, training and cleanliness are
very, very important in order to avoid making bad impressions on guests
and cohabitors.
anyone else out there have a weimaraner, for show or otherwise?
