Hi all, i'm not a very regular poster but looking for some advice from all you knowledgable people
I'm starting to search for a new doggie to join out family after we sadly lost our beautiful golden retriever just before new year. We won't be looking at getting one till after our overseas travels in June but I'd like to start looking at breeds and talking to breeders.
So after some breed suggestions if possible…
Must be short haired, and prefer a medium to large breed.
We are a couple in our late twenties with no children but will be looking at having them in the next couple of years so would prefer something that could be child friendly with training.
It would be my OH dog and he runs our aquaculture farm full time and would be taking the dog everywhere with him. Looking for something that loves the water, good with horses, poultry ect. Wouldn't be a pure farm dog, would still live inside :D
We already have a whippet, a cat and a Doberman that visits often. Needs to be loyal and would like something that could be a bit of a guard dog. We are experience dog people and would be taking the puppy to obiendence.
I've been looking into the Weimaraner and German shorthaired pointers so far so if anyone has experience with these any advice would be great
