Fellow hound lovers, I need some advice.
We have a wonderful 11 yr old JRT who is missing her best friend who we lost last year. She is unusually good with our cats - a couple of strays who pitched up and never left and are very comfortable with her. When friends have come over with dogs they don’t know they scarper though.
However, we had a gorgeous Husky come over for the afternoon and our JRT adored her. (Cats seemed ok too.) It made me realise how much she needs another canine pal.
I am loathe to get a puppy because rescue has always been the way for us, but I don’t know what the best thing to do for ALL the animals’ wellbeing. It just feels wrong to us to only have one dog.
We have plenty of space and plenty of time. But would a Husky and a JRT be a breed mismatch? And should we really consider a puppy as the most sensible option?
Just looking for advice from anybody who has introduced a new family member to a very tight pack.
Thank you!
