I am toying with the idea of getting a puppy next spring/summer.
We had a newfoundland who died from a heart problem (we think) aged 9. He was lovely but boy did he make a lot of mess!
My DH would like a leonberger as our next dog (i can't have another slobbering dog) but I think that I would prefer a smaller dog that the children could eventually walk (they are currently 10, 8 and 5)
I don't like small dogs but there must be a mid sized dog that would be a good family pet.
I am looking for something that would be happy with 2 shortish (30 - 60 minutes) walks a day and is good around children and cats. We have a big garden so the puppy/dog would be able to play and run outside of the 2 walks.
Border collies would be ideal if they didn't need the amount of excersise that they need. I can't do 10 mile walks everyday!
Any suggestions?
