Good evening, I am considering getting a dog, but want to do things properly so would welcome any advice.
Our cat was hit and killed by a car a few days ago. DD is devastated and doesn't want to get another cat in case the same thing happens again. She would like to get a dog instead. A dog would have been my preferred pet, but had to forget about this after we got the cat.
I would welcome advice on which breed would be suitable. I'd like something quite small and friendly with children (teenagers and a 9 year old). I quite like the look of cutesy cavapoo type breeds, but worried about inadvertently buying from a puppy and health issues.
I work part time and my husband works from home most of the time, but is away a couple of times a month. If that falls on a working day for me, I would want to use doggy day care, but is there a minimum age you would use this from?
Many thanks for any advice.
