18 dogs, wow! You must have real dog pack dynamics going on there, must be interesting. Reminds me of a great story the James Herriot books. James' boss had a (smaller) pack and a sick spoiled chihuahua recovered just running around with them and acting like a normal dog.
Hi there from us and our one dog - a rescue cairn poodle cross. Doesn't shed so needs to be clipped like a miniature sheep from time to time... wuff!
