In reply to NZ Muse. She sounds like an interesting dog! I sometimes wish our was more compliant. He's so smart, but then he doesn't obey unless he wants to.

We have a rescue (smooth collie cross) and thinking about getting another! She’s super weird but the perfect blend of weird for us, haha. Super curious and pretty smart, but not all that affectionate. She has high energy bursts but they peter out quite fast. Possibly a slower/dumber dog may have been a slightly EASIER choice but we absolutely adore her.

In reply to Candy. I grew up with large dogs, but having a smaller dog is pretty awesome. They make the house less messy and are easier to take with you everywhere.

We have 2 rescues, Lily a 6yr Labrador cross we adopted as a puppy and Lola a 7yr Wolfhound x Jack Russell we adopted at age 5.
We carefully researched breeds and while trying to decide out of our shortlist we decided to get a rescue.

great article! I see many people that have dogs that don’t really adjust to their lifestyle and then give them away. People should really be informed that not all dogs are the same!

A great post! I choose not to have a pet because I know I’m too busy with other life things to give a pet the attention it deserves. I don’t feel like enough people really think it through when they get a cat or a dog which is quite horrible.
