dogs help

[meme]

I would suggest getting a adult if it were a cat because every one loves those little kittens.But if it is a dog,you should get what you can take care of. Can you handle a puppy, it chewing up every thing,tracking in mud learning to stay of the furniture , wear to go to the bathroom.I would suggest getting a grown up if you want a calm dog, but if you want one that is active, and play fetch, then you should get a puppy.One last thing get it from the POUND!



good luck

You already have animals, sheep etc. I would suggest a pup or younger animal that you can train to be around your animals, not necessarily with them, but around them without the dog wanting to chase them etc.

All my dogs are German Shepherd crosses and in one way or another all rescues.

Visit your local RSPCA tell them what you are looking for I am sure they can advise you.

I have two male dogs and one female, it has been my experience that the female is far more intelligent and was easier to train than the males.

I would also suggest having them spayed/nuetered, if you get them from the RSPCA they will have done that before they let you take them, and all will be up to date with any vaccinations.

They will want to do a home inspection, to make sure you have the facilities/space for looking after a dog, and usually do a follow up. That is nothing to worry about, they do it to make sure the animal is going to a good home.

As far as breed goes, that really depends on space for exercise, your budget for feed, and the time you have available.

Hope this might help, but bear in mind this is just my opinion.

Good luck, keep us posted, let us know when you have decided and pictures please, we all love pictures, it's nice after a hard day to look at pictures and go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah what a cutie.
