My children are now 9 and 7. 7 year old has diagnosed adhd and likely autism. He loves dogs. My eldest also likes them and is a sensitive boy.
We live in a 4 bed semi, okish garden. Currently I work from home and my parents live a few streets down ans they own a sprocker rescue since he was a pup. Lovely friendly boy.
We are considering a dog. I have looked at labs and gr but i think they're too big.
As 1st timers we need a biddable dog easy to train, medium amount of exercise, maybe an hour a day. I have considered a cav but I worry about their health. I'm in touch with breeders who do all the tests but still concerned.
Have also thought of border terriers but not keen on them either really.
Dog may occasionally be left alone for an hour or two if I have to run errands.
Any other breeds to consider please? I've watched so many YouTube videos which all contradict each other
