What breed would suit us?

What breed would suit our family?

We can offer up to an hours walk per day, this will mainly be on lead with a bit of off lead time, be happy to be out and about much more of the day during the weekend and school holidays.

Not too big ideally and doesn’t shed too much, some is fine but I know something like a Golden retriever would be an issue for me (as much as I love them!)

Happy to snooze while I work from home after walk, obviously know this does come with age as well, I would expect this from a puppy.

Happy to come on UK family holidays including camping.

Good with children, pretty busy household with 3 children of our own and their friends plus other children in the wider family.

Ideally good with other dogs, lots of family and friends with dogs.

We aren’t new to dog owning but struggling to settle in a breed…

Your “wish list” sounds like my dog, she ticks every box I think. She’s a cavalier spaniel/bichon frise mix. No shedding, happy to walk, happy to have a lazy day, excellent recall. Great with kids, eager to please.

I agree, whippets, or ex-racing greyhound.

I have a rescue Maltipoo who does everything you've described. Hates getting wet though!

Our pug would fit everything you described but we've been incredibly lucky. He's a one in a million boy 🥰

Except for 'small' you are describing a retired greyhound.

Thanks everyone…lots to think about!

We have a cocker x lab. Brilliant mix. Much smaller than a lab, not as food obsessed and doesn't shed as much. V laid back and chilled. Loves a walk and equally loves a cuddle. Brilliant with kids.
