Hello,
We have a older dog at the moment who is a smaller breed but we are interested in the chance of getting another dog, we are not sure on breed as yet but would like a bigger dog this time round.
Things have changed since we got first dog as a puppy. We have changed jobs and had 3 children in this time. Puppy hood seems like distant memory.
We are trying to work out the logistics of getting another puppy.
I now work 3 days a week, term time only.
Do you think it would be fair on the dog if on the 3 days I work, my husband work from home one day and then use daycare 2 days.
At the moment our dog has one day at home and 2 days with family who are also looking after our youngest child.
There may be a chance they will say they will have pup as well but want a plan in place incase they say it too much, which I would understand.
We would aim to get the puppy at the start of the summer holidays so would have 6 weeks at home too.
When we got our first dog we spent about a year choosing breed, researching, finding breeder etc likewise this time we wont rush in to things.
All opinions welcome, also any suggestions on breeds. Im thinking a Labrador as we love been outside and are an active family.
Thank you!
