Considering getting a sprocker puppy. For context, we have an eight month old DD and an old miserable cat (he'd be miffed at a dog but would just ensure it stayed out of his way).
I work three days per week, one from home. Would have a walker to cover the two days I'm working in the office.
We live somewhere with plenty of good open space and great walks all around. I think having a dog would be great for getting us all out and about and DD loves animals so think it would be great for her.
I've owned dogs before but not for a few years. I want to make a sensible decision so weighing up all the pros and cons (extra cost, big commitment, more tying than a cat, etc).
If there are any sprocker owners about, does this sound like a breed that would suit our family? There's a litter very nearby but I don't want to go and see them until I've properly considered everything, as I know that once we see an actual puppy we will find it hard to make a decision dispassionately.
Thanks to anyone who can help
