So adult only household, I wfh 3 days a week, have a dog walker the other days. On days when I wfh and at weekends dog would get a minimum of an hour off lead walk.
i have previously had a greyhound (can’t cope with being the unofficial hare courser of the village again), a Portuguese podengo Pequano and currently have a cavachon.
My cavachon is lovely though not the most athletic. She kept up with hill walking to about the age of 6yo and then refused to come hill walking anymore. Though now she’s 10yo she still happily runs around in the fields for an hour. To be honest the main thing which puts me off another cavachon is the grooming.
i am torn between getting another dog of a similar temperament to her (but what) or getting something slightly more energetic but is that a good idea if I’m out at work two days a week? Occasionally three days a week.
dogs I’ve considered
wire haired daschund, am worried about back issues
jack Russell, border terrier, welsh terriers…..are they too bonkers?
is there a terrier league table of bonkers levels?
I like Norfolk and Norwich terriers but read about hip problems and heart problems.
i might consider another podengo pequano. The last one was a “rescue” and a horrible temperament and savaged people left tight and centre……but i do know a good breeder who I’ve spoken to in the past so would be more confident of a puppy from her. Dh still has ptsd from that dog though and might shoot me! 😆🙈
