I have been researching breeds and think a miniature or toy poodle would be the best dog for me and my mum. I originally wanted a cavapoo, but when I looked online a lot about puppy farms came up and people recommended getting a cavalier or poodle instead.
I like the temperament of Cavaliers but know they are prone to a lot of health issues.
I have a disability called ehlers danlos syndrome, which causes my joints to lock and sublux. I also have part of my spine fused. I think a smaller dog will be better as if it does pull on the lead or jump up at me then there is less force compared to a larger dog.
My mum will be helping out as we live 5 minutes walk apart and is retired. I love dogs and as I don't get out socially much I would love the company. I have no problems with walking btw so will be fine taking it for walks.
Do you think a poodle would be a good dog for me and any advice would be welcome
