Hello- Ive
been given much appreciated advice last night about choosing a dog from a litter.
I am really grateful .
Since talking to friends locally today about our plan to get a dog - the good, the bad and the ugly
! .. and the fact that we live a gentle life and often go camping as well as pubs , cafes , local walks etc - one of our friends whose dog I am attached to and regularly care for and is a really easy dog ( shitzu) - has suggested that instead of getting my own dog- that we dog share hers until she retires in 5 years time.
She obviously wants me to keep caring for her dog- ( she does have other options for care ) and her dog has a great time with us.
She says its the best , potentially , of both worlds, as she gets dog care and we get a dog in the week .
She often likes city breaks and she says it means we would be able to holiday abroad still.
On paper it sounds that we should at least think about it according to dh—its a bit of a curve ball as it was only night on this forum that I was asking for support to choose a pup from a litter and my mind had cleared about that ! .( and for that advice we are grateful) .
Anyway - as I said this is a curveball that dh feels we should at least look at !! … anyone had experience of this or has views? ( this offer does not affect our appreciation of the kind and excellent advice given ) .
