We have promised the kids a puppy for ages. Dh and I both grew up with dogs but we wanted to wait til dd2 was a bit older. She's very nearly 5 now and we moved country a month ago with the promo of "when we move and have a garden, we can get a dog". After a huge amount of research into breeds, we are looking for a spinone. I contacted a breeder yesterday, expecting to be out on a list for a puppy sometime next year (purposely chose a small breeder expecting a long wait)....
Anyway it turns out she has the most gorgeous 7 week old puppies and one of them is available - eek! Her new owner backed out for very valid reasons and she needs a new family. Haven't told the kids yet, dh is trying to work out how to get there to look at the puppies and I'm going to call the lady later for a chat.
Very exciting, been ages since I had a puppy, mentally making lists of questions to ask..... Any tips from spinone owners welcome!
