Dd and I have finally persuaded dh that it might be a good idea.
My family always had dogs, so I'm not daunted by it at all but I want to be sure we get the right breed for us.
So here's our situation, what are your suggestions, oh wise ones?
- Dd is 5. No chance of any other dcs.
- We live in London, near parks but with a very small garden. Can't rely on the garden for outdoor space/exercise.
- Not a huge house. Do NOT want dog hairs everywhere.
- Dh and I both work from home, so exercising not a problem but it would be good if, at a push, daily exercise could be the school run (15 mins walk each way), but obviously I'd be looking to do longer walks than this.
- Don't want anything as big as e.g. a labrador nor a handbag-sized mite.
My parents had standard size poodles, then Kerry Blue Terriers (still do - dd adores their Kerry Blue), if that's any help.
My thoughts so far are: Welsh terrier? Mini schnauzer? Maybe we should just get a kerry blue, like my parents??
