This may not happen for a while yet, because the kids are still small and everything feels rather chaotic right now - but we would like to get a dog at some point, that is ds is dying to have one and I would be glad if he had a 'friend' as it were.
I'd like to plan ahead and have some idea of what kind we would suit, especially if we adopt from the local rescue place.
These are the criteria:
- I don't like exercise so yes, a walk a day, huge garden, we're here most of the time, but please no 10-mile runners!
- We have other pets - one middle aged cat, two guinea pigs, three rabbits and are going to get some chickens too in a while. I am guessing a lurcher would eat the rabbits? Is there a dog that wouldn't?
- I am not fussed about fur, but have never had a dog so would need a housetrained one who knew not to wee everywhere...I might also need to do a training course, becuase I am so clueless. Is there any type that is 'easier' to learn to train, as it were, for a cat person?
Many thanks for any ideas.
