Morning everyone.
I’ve been after a dog for years, timing is right, youngest in pre school two days a week, oldest in school. I work from home and two days in a dog friendly office so can have a dog with me all the time. We also live rurally in a beautiful area for walks.
My intital feeling was to get a terrier cross but there was a greyhound charity in town yesterday and the more I read about grey hounds and lurcher the more I think they are perfect for us. I made the mistake of looking at the website and there is a gorgeous lurcher that I think would be amazing for us.
The only issue is my other half doesn’t want a dog. He previously said we could when the time was right, this was a year ago. But he’s back tracked and says a flat no. I can’t get to the bottom of his concerns yet to counter them.
But assuming I can convince him, is there anything I should know or any pertinent experiences you can share with me? I had dogs as a child but not as an adult. I have dog sitted for friends and just loved the whole experience. Also, we don’t holiday abroad and have Mum as stand by dog sitter if necessary.
Thanks in advance!
