Will try and be brief. We are getting a puppy at some point from August onwards, depending on lead times with breeders.
Very experienced dog owners. Always had various small breed rescues. Now with 2 young children finding it impossible to find a rescue that will rehome to us, hence getting a puppy.
Very large secure garden
Will be able to walk up to 90 minutes off lead a day.
Dog will be alone for up to four hours at a time from next March, couple of days a week. Otherwise someone around.
Busy household with two kids
Don't want anything too labour intensive, that needs constant stimulation, agility training or anything. Just bog standard family dog, happy to be walked, play with kids, have a cuddle, etc
Not too keen on shedding and drool.
Any breed recommendations? Have generally had mutts so this is new for us. We were thinking a whippet? But perhaps something more lively as they always seem quite passive.
Many thanks
