I’ve wanted a dog for many, many years! I know the responsibility so I’ve never committed. I thought I might go back to Hawaii.
What cruel person would put there doggie through an extended quarantine unnecessarily!?!
Anyway, I will be watching videos and learning how to train one for a few days or weeks before I decide on a breed...
It will be my first personal doggie but I alone took care of our family dogs much of my youth. I remember getting knocked down by a hungry, exhuberant Dobie at dinner time when I was 4 or 5. I had to try to dodge him and play jump rope over his chain! I rarely won both feats so I intend to have a dog that either does not, or rarely, needs a leash.
I travel, and I think it it is best for the dog, if they are highly trainable in any circumstance anyway. I can spend a lot of time with my dog but it’d be very helpful if I could leave it with food, water, and shade for 45 minutes here and there, +/- to get things done.
I don’t want to have to tie it on a leash. I’d also like it to not be a danger to children.
Could a Jack Russell do this?
I was thinking about an Aussie Shepherd, a Chessie maybe...
Short hair could be good for low maintenance, small size for ease, and vibrantly healthy of course, but a dog must be intelligent, good natured, and trainable to be off of a leash and not a danger to children!!!
