Hi everyone,
I have been given permission from the OH to get another dog to join our zoo! We currently have 2 dogs- a jack russell who is a total house dog, hates the cold, hates going in the car etc and likes to spend all day in bed or infront of the fire. We also have a collie, who is OHs working sheepdog and lives in a kennel (comes in the house for a couple of hours in the evening). I also have 2 horses and we have 2 farm cats. So obviously it would need to be good with other animals!
The new addition will be "mine"- it will come to work and to do my horses with me. I work as a groom on an estate and when pup is old enough it will come out with me whilst I ride, so dog must be good with horses. Also must be good with livestock as we live on a farm. Not too big (just personal preference!), tough enough to spend a lot of time outdoors without getting too cold.
I have an active lifestyle so a dog which needs alot of work isn't a problem, but it would be nice if it settles down in the evening for cuddles!
I was thinking maybe a cocker spaniel? Any other suggestions?
TIA
