Hi all,
not sure if this is the right place. We currently vol for Pawz, fab rescue, anyway since our vol work we find ourselves with a small pack; 2 yorkies, 1 old girl medium (already had these before vol work) then along came a few in foster but 2 we kept mini poodle and sitsue - (can never spell the breed but not to worry - we felt she had far too much bagage to be re-homed and we love her eventhough she barks and growls at any new visitor - but getting there) Before this smaller dog carry on we always had large dogs, Lab, Rottie, German sheperd, (all passed away with our broken hearts to proove it). We are moving house this month and once settled we are considering another addition to our pack of 5. The addition would be a larger dog as we miss this sooooo much. However we are very very worried about taking on an adult large dog as the little dogs may be at risk, we know all of the crate and training stuff but are frightend to be honest of risking any possible adult dogs possible placement and, of course our small one's saftey. We are putting the feelers out now but it maybe 2-5 months before we can offer a home. Can anyone advise as to whether we should take a puppy (never ever had a pup before but know the theory) or rescue (always had these). We are simply looking for a larger dog or bitch, preferabley bitch we think, that may intergrate into our established 5 of dogs, ages 12, 5, 4, 2 and 18 months (Had the latter since May last year and what a life; she is the baby and would need the most time adjusting)
Sorry to waffle and thanks for reading
