We've been thinking for a while to get a second dog, I've got a 9 year old dog now who we've had since a puppy, love her so much, shes a very independent dog she's collie, likes to be outside alot were on a farm, she has worked in the past tho now just now and again for her benefit, She could have so much attention I'm at home, but she just doesn't seem bothered, wants to be outside, doesn't want to sit in the same room with us, appears when there is food,
I really really want an effectiont dog, tho know I don't know if its to late, I don't want her to get annoyed, we've had a behaviourist out to see if there was anything we could do to encourage her to want to be with us, but she said she's fine she's got a great life it's just the ay she is, which is fine but I want/need doggy cuddles! looked at rescue and doesn't seem possible with a toddler and I've found a breeder my friend has had 2 dogs from at different and I'm so jealous of all the cuddles and love there dog gives to them and her kids, I don't think my dog will actually be that bothered how can she? but maybe she will as she does love us just doesn't want to show it, anyone mixed a new dog with a older slightly moody dog? Non aggressive and she is so loved but she's just like nope I don't want to play or cuddle or have much to do with you really, it's abit draining.
