What dog to give a home to. (1 Viewer)

Wouldn't recommend a springer spaniel! Lovely lovely nature but loopy!

a bichon frise, they are not too small but dont shed hairs all over the place and are very loyal

I have wanted to give a great home to a dog for a long time now but I'm not sure what dog to get to add to our enjoyment of motor homing. I had terriers many years ago but have not had a dog since. I like Rottweilers but being practical they may be too big for motor homing. I want a dog which will walk for miles but also enjoy curling up while I read or wash the van ( I love washing the van) a mate mentioned getting a dog which doesn't shed hair . I know the old saying size matters but I would be grateful for any advice on giving a dog a fantastic home who will be loved , one thing I'm sure of, it will be female .

Just caught up with this thread, so what dog did you settle on Kevin?

That's not a dog!!!!!!


It's a mountain

Do tell, I LOVE big dogs, what mountain does haganap have then?

I grew up with a true mountain dog, a pyrennean, she was gorgeous

Border Terrier. Can go all day, up hill and down dale but equally keen to curl up in front of the fire with you, or lay by your feet while you read a book.

Snap we've got a 16 year old bitch and a 5 year old dog. Great dogs .

Would have another Border Collie But I suppose it would be difficult to say no to anything that was in danger of being put to sleep......unless it was really big, but don't really like "toy" dogs either

Yes, I'm still finding it difficult to find my way around threads, I think I put a like to someone's post that went on in 2011!!

I've had a Labrador, cocker spaniel, border collie and 2 Shetland Sheep Dogs and loved the Shelties though need a bit of a trim from time to time. Also know some lovely springer spaniels.

Would love a cockapoo but my wife us not sure if she would like one, what would be nice, if we could look after one for a few weeks to try.

Or a mixture of all the above Lets also hear it for the crossbreeds and Heinz 57's of the world. Decide on all the attributes you need in a dog then visit a shelter or look at dogs that need rehoming and fall in love Now, where was that list? Jane

Couldn't agree more. Generally more robust as they are free of all the inherent health problems so many pedigrees have.

Scottish Terrier, small, loyal and love to walk. Our Sasha goes everywhere with us. Contact STECs, they are always looking for people to rehome scotties.

Sorry , Im still getting used to to new layout and only just saw the alert highlighted informing me this thread has come back to life. sad to say we are still without a dog . I thought I was going to stop working last year but have held on because we have been given notice that we may go out to tender, so I have hung around hoping redundancy may come my way ( the NHS is being chipped away) I didn't want to have a dog and have to leave her at home while I'm at work.The dog I think that we shall be getting when we are ready is a schnauzer
Btw Kevin the cat isn't bothered either way if we get a dog he is currently sunning himself on a sun spot on the lounge rug purring contently. Life for him is good.

This may give some food for thought.

We have a standard poodle(quite big), 6 months old, fantastically intelligent, comparatively easy to train. He loves to play, but will happily push out 8hrs sleep overnight. Loves exercise, he's off the lead on open spaces and never strays more than 50m's from us. Best of all, he doesn't moult, his hair is really designed to get wet and dry quickly.

We had our first poodle by chance from a rescue, never thought I would like them, mainly because of the way breeders cut their hair....In fact, they are a great breed of dog, and look great when their coat is scruffy. Get one as a pup, you can then develop it to suit your needs.

I'd go with a poodle (any size) too - heart & strength of a terrier but don't shed a hair. Beautiful dogs.

In addition to our 10 yr old Collie we now have a 14 wk old Kerry Blue. The collie herds the grand-children and the KB is to protect us LOL

Get a greyhound or a lurched or a whippet if you prefer something smaller.
