Whose

Are these sentences correct:
1-I talked with the owner of a dog whose leash was diamond-studded.

2-I talked with the owner of a dog whose house had been burgled.
(The house belongs to the owner of the house.)

Gratefully,
Navi.

I find nothing wrong with the sentences. I think all houses belong to their owners. Dogs seldom own houses, though, but as far as I know there is no law against it.

I think that the mention of the dog in the second sentence interferes with the meaning you are trying to get across.
