Wannabe Lean!!!
Can I pick some brains please?
We're thinking of getting a puppy, we adore Blue Merle Collies, Beagles, Weimeraners and Chocolate Labradors, so they are the breeds we would be looking at first providing our research beforehand say they're ok. We have 2 young girls who adore animals of any kind and know how to behave around them (MiL and Godmother both have dogs) but I myself have always had cats (we still have 3 but they treat the place is it if were a hotel and we hardly see them, they just come home to eat and get a bit of fuss then b*gger off again LOL).
I know a puppy will be mega work, I will have a smelly newspaper covered house no doubt for a good few months, but I used to hand-rear kittens so am used to all the intricacies involved in caring for wee animals.
I need specifics really about raising and training, and if anyone knows anything about the breeds mentioned I'd be really grateful too. My friend (childrens godmother) will help gladly but obviously I need to feel confident I know what I'm doing too.
Any and all info welcomed!
