myself and DH have decided we want a dog, both have been around dogs, but never owned one.
I have had a lot of experience helping train other peoples dogs and have worked on farms with sheep dogs. And love walking dogs, even my friends staff, that pulls with everyone except me.
Dh has been around alot of family dogs, but never really in charge or them.
We work shifts, but have family and friends close by that are retired and would love a dog to walk. and have agreed to help us out, if we will be out for any long periods of time, though hopefully i will be working from home eventually.
So we can cope with being a strong dog owners as i have read shar peis can be dominant. I have read up on crate training and will be doing puppy classes to socialise the dog from 6 months.
Any advice on the breed, or for a new dog owner.
