Very early days of thinking of getting a dog. Neither me or dh grew up with dogs so a very new experience for us all.
Dc are older - 18, 17 and 13. We also have a cat who I’m worried about as she seems quite scared of dogs.
I’ve talked to friends about the relative merits of a puppy v a rescue dog and most say a puppy is better because even though the puppy stage is very hard, they can be trained well from the start. And you’ll always be taking a risk with a rescue, true?
We have a big garden and lots of nice places to walk locally.
Grateful for any advice please.
