I am just considering at the moment but would one day like a dig again.
We had a dog for about 2yrs, which sadly ended in rehoming. We jumped in without research or much thought and ended up with a pup completely unsuited to our family, lifestyle and (lack of) experience.
I don't want to make the same mistakes again so am starting my research early. I would love to rehome a dog but worry that we wouldn't really know what we were getting, history or breed. I'd like to get a breed of dog where I can check its character traits as it needs to be low-energy, child friendly and small. I've met a few king Charles cavaliers and they seem to fit the bill but also seem very popular and I'm guessing difficult to find one that needs rehoming. Don't want a puppy either.
Any advice or ideas? Thanks
