We are in the early stages of making plans to adopt a dog. We are aware that adopting means we will most likely get a mixed breed but we have heard conflicting info on which dogs are compatible with young children.
The children are old enough to respect a dog but just the same we want a dog that will play but not too rough.
I’m just looking for some ideas so when it is time to start looking we know which dogs to rule out.
My dog is 13 years old. She is a golden retriever and she has arthritis in her legs. She is a very kind dog and cannot do too much anymore. I am thinking about getting another dog along with her. What kind of dog should I get who wont bother or pester my dog? A dog that she can get along with. People have suggested a small dog, not another golden because I know that they are rowdy when they are young. Can anyone help?
