I love my dogs. 2 show cockers. They get a good amount of exercise 5 miles + most days. We are moving to a farmhouse. There are chickens and barns. I HATE rats and mice. Don't really want a cat but would have one at a push (used to have a persian that i LOVED, but am more of a dog person). So am thinking about getting a terrier. The problem is I don't naturally warm to terriers. I prefer gundogs. BIL has a lovely border terrier I like it, but don't love it. Any advice? I'd like a playful dog that will keep my house rodent free. I don't know yet whether the neighbours have cats as I know that this could be an issue. Would love to know about temperaments etc. Have a 10 and 12 yr old that are very well trained with dogs. Any opinion is welcome. x
