My husband and I are thinking of getting a puppy sometime next year. Growing up my family never had a dog but took care of friends dogs at our house for weeks at a time and we loved it. My husbands family had a whippet for years.
We have a nearly 2yr old and baby due end of Feb/early March so looking at possibly getting a puppy maybe end of summer time?
We are thinking of getting a black or chocolate labrador puppy with short hair. We are currently reading up and doing research on them along with pros and cons etc. Both my husband and I have been talking about getting a dog for over 6 years but dont want to do it at the wrong time and regret it.
For anyone who has or had a dog with young children, can you offer and advice, tips, pros/cons of having a puppy with young children. We don't want to rush into anything as we both know dogs take a lot of time and effort but also show so much love.
