The wandering off part is one of my main concerns..
Where we intend to move their won't be extremely close neighbors. But out there people aren't afraid to shoot your dog if it happens to turn up on their place unwelcome.

I know all about the long ear business ..I had a cocker spaniel that required constant ear maintenance.
Is it even possible for a dog to stink worse than a cocker spaniel?

 

[memphis]

Yep. That's my main concern too. Microchipping and identification on the collar is a must.

 

[memphis]

No! Not nearly as bad as a cocker!! I just take cottonballs and alcohol to his ear flaps. And an ear wash every so often.

@memphis .. .
I've got puppy fever. I really need to wait until we move out of town though. I want a black and tan!!
View attachment 1951459 talk me out of it!

I'm slowly getting puppy fever myself... Last week, we puppy sat MIL's Chihuahua. While I can't stand little dogs, it was nice having a dog in the house again and the cat absolutely loved having her here (he loves dogs, hates cats). DH is far from ready for another dog though so I think I'll be waiting a while :/

Just as a public service announcement... our dog (a lab/golden) also needs lots of ear care. I think it’s just a floppy-ear dog thing. We don’t buy the prescription stuff from the vet anymore because it doesn’t work. At All. We get Zymox from Amazon. Not cheap, but it’s wonderful stuff. Actually works, plus no vet bill.

@memphis I really enjoyed your description of hounds. I’ve never had one (and probably won’t) but they sound like fascinating dogs.

my grandmother has an old cocker spaniel (i think its roughly 15+ years old already), and it does not stink, but my neighbor's black Australian shepherd dog does... I have tried keeping dogs once before, it just isn't for me, I prefer a chicken, duck, goose, turkey, peafowl, and even guineas over a dog as a pet (no offense to any dog keepers, just never really had good experiences with dogs other than with my grandmother's friendly German shepherds that passed away long ago, and her cocker spaniels)
