We have two teenage dcs and currently have two older neutered male dogs. We sadly lost our beautiful rescue greyhound girl last year at the age of fifteen. We’d like to introduce a puppy into our family - my DH works from home so there would always be company for the dogs and the children are of an age now to enjoy helping with a puppy.
We did have our beagle, now aged fourteen, from a puppy but raising him with two toddlers was a very different experience! Our other dog is a very friendly Jack Russell aged ten. Both boys frequently have other dogs in the home, from my parents Labrador puppy (now teenager!) to my friends‘ three dogs when they come to stay - and are very laid back and accepting, so I would hope they’d be the same with a new addition.
I've been looking at cocker spaniels- probably the show strain as apparently slightly less in need of constant exercise? Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
