Dog thread!🐾

Thank you Fluffy! The only bit of hope is if it was a once of thing

Because I like planning ahead for every situation, it helps me to stress less! What breed would I get to be a spare if she does wash out

-Needs to be about springer size ( hight matters more then weight)
-Medium to high energy
-Can be off leash
-Not too unpredictable with cats
-Not very dog selective
-The less shedding the better!
-Not sure about grooming needs Because I am a bit sad about probably losing the fluffy dog soonish

Hmm. I'm probably not the best to be talking about this. However, have you considered the Portuguese Water Dog? Other than the daily grooming, they seem like a good option. Would you consider another Springer? Now, this is not within the right height or shedding level, but I do believe that a Cavalier fits. Maybe even a border collie would fit, and Bri has proved they're excellent at that

I will look in to Portuguese water dogs

size is unfortunately very important it would give me a lot more options if it wasn’t

Border collies might work if I can find the right breeder but they do have a tendency to be nervous. I also am worried about how much work they might be

springer not sure, she has been all most everything I wanted but she still hasn’t fitted in to the family too well. Also if we keep her I don’t know if I want 2, if we don’t then I don’t know if I want the same breed again so soon after

no wonder I haven’t looked at Portuguese water dogs! This is the picture on the kennel club website, its ugly!

I look it up and all the other pictures do not look like this

Looking for information on the water dogs, found a youtube channel for a breeder (looks like puppy mill) their dogs apparently come with a 2 year genetic health guarantee whats the point!

I am really liking Portuguese water dogs! Hard to find much information on them though, everything says the need a lot of mental and physical exercise or they are destructive but how much is a lot

Looked at the breed club
