RSPCA were great with us, yes they checked height of fences and questioned me on dog psychology ( via the dog warden) and matched us with an abandoned Lurcher puppy found after Travellers had been evicted from a site.
They said as a puppy she had a chance to be a “ good” dog for a first time owner as she wouldn’t have had time to get into bad habits.
She’d never lived indoors or had a collar on til we adopted her at about 12 weeks old.
Easy to train and a dream dog!
