Hi
We are thinking of getting a dog this year or possibly next .
At the moment I'm doing research into which breeds would be best for our family .
My husband works full time, kids are at school, I work two days a week. To cover those days I would send the dog to doggy day care . My husband and i around during the school holidays so I would ideally get a dog in the summer .
I would like a medium sized dog , friendly around kids , and easyish to train . Does anyone have a cockerpoos ? Iv never been around one just read quite a bit on the internet .
Also I would prefer to go with a breeder . Where do I find a good breeder ? I want to avoid puppy farms . Also what questions do I need to ask when enquiring about puppy's .
Then there's the equipment and costs , what things do I need to take into account . These are the things I have already thought about, but what else.
Doggy Day Care
Vaccinations
Neutering
Flea/worming treatments
Insurance - Any recommendations?
Food
Bedding
crate and toys
Lead
Grooming costs
Puppy classes
Anything else I need to take into account
