Sounds like a good plan. I want to share something my vets told me when we
brought in a 3-month-old Akita in May, '90, to live w/our then larger group
(about 5) of mature cats. They said look out if you're bringing in kittens
or cats to an incumbent household full of mature dogs......but if the Akita
grew up w/our cats, they would soon show him who was running things here.
And that's exactly what happened. Although he weighed 130# at his prime, he
never hurt one hair on any of the cats, and was especially fond of Oliver,
who used to sleep with him, nestled between his outstretched paws. Like most
Akitas, though, he was a one-person d-pet, and although never a real d-pet
person, I was his person he loved and was protective of to the death.
