Our only other dog was a pedigree Yorkie and even then I don't think he was suited to a mad household with 5 children under 12 as he was extremely nervy. I think that having 2 big shorthair cats it will be easier to have a puppy so they can all get used to each other from an early age. I keep looing online, but really we need to get the wedding out of the way first as we can't leave a puppy alone all day and, of course, we'll all be at the wedding. And yes, a lot of dogs are overpriced, especially as, even if their parents are pedigrees, if they are different breeds the pups are still effectively crossbreeds. So, we'll take our time looking and I'm sure will find the right one eventually. I have nothing against Staffies really, but they are like a fashion accessory for Chavs around here so that would put me off getting one. Anyway, I hope all is well with you and yours.

I've always had dogs from puppies as you don't know the background of rescue dogs, but that is only as we have children. Although the children are older now we had dogs when they were babies and I didn't want to take the risk of having any dog with a background that could have been lied about. Saying that many people have rescue dogs who are fantastic. Keep looking, I've always thought the right one will pop up when the time is right. We've just got puppy number eight and it took some looking around at extremely overpriced dogs to find her but we stumbled upon her advert, went to see her and here she is.<br />Looking forward to hearing more about the wedding and sorry to hear about your sons relationship breaking down. If you get on with their partner then you lose a friend too xBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545418260169484456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558966650715463516.post-29783341829037108122015-05-02T15:50:52.712+01:002015-05-02T15:50:52.712+01:00Welcome back!
