Does anyone here own one? What are the good and bad sides to owning them?
I already have a 9yo lurcher. She’s pretty low maintaince these days so I know getting a young dog will make life a bit lively again lol. My older dog will hopefully teach a young dog some house manners too.
Anyway I’m used to living with a low shedding dog which doesn’t have much a ‘doggy’ smell. Are Borders similar? Are they busy house dogs or do they chill out and save being busy for outside? Do they tend to be distructive or noisy? (I know any dog will be if bored/lonely - I mean in general).
Are they loving dogs who enjoy cuddles or are they more independent?
Just trying to get a feel for the breed, I’ve done some reading and I like the size and look of the breed, but that doesn’t tell you the day to day reality of living with that breed.
