Thinking very far ahead in the future, but wanted some opinions on dogs for families? I've always had spaniels (all working - 2x cockers, a Springer and a welshie - not at the same time!) fab dogs, but possibly slightly too mad for small children? My dh has never had dogs, so I will be training and the one at home. I'm used to gundog training, but the welshie never worked so also pet dog training if that makes sense!
Don't mind about exercising, obviously with spaniels I spent more time outside with them than in, just more temperament than anything. Something slightly calmer when they reach adulthood would be good with little ones. Any thoughts?
