We have a 2.5yo labrador cross. We got him aged around 6 months as a rescue and he's been brilliant. We have a fairly large house, big garden with lots of good walks nearby. DH doesn't work and I usually work from home, so we are able to give him plenty of exercise and attention. We also have a six year old daughter who loves our dog and he is brilliant with her. We had a conversation the other day about how we wouldn't rule out getting another youngish dog if we saw a rescue that needed a home.
Lo and behold - today we've seen an ad for a husky, same age as our lab cross who needs a new home. No cost, it's a rescue. Sounds like a lovely dog and we are finding ourselves sorely tempted. We would obviously meet the dog before making any decisions and introduce him to our dog and our daughter. We have the space, the two dogs could play... It is a big decision though - more commitment, more cost, more mess...
So lay it on me - pros and cons. Should we get another dog??? And should it be this dog?
