I'm thinking about getting a dog, possibly in a couple of years' time and would appreciate your incite on the matter as have never owned a dog before and never grew up with one as a child so it's all completely new to me.
My circumstances are that I am a lone (female) parent and my children are currently 6 and 9. We live fairly rural and I would like a dog partly for a sense of protection when we go on country walks etc and also to be a part of the family.
I work from home so would be able to exercise at lunch time and also after work.
Any thoughts as to whether owning a dog would be feasible in my circumstances, and if so as to breed? I have a particular soft spot for German shepherds, spaniels and Labradors.
Tia.
