BC Crazy Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) I just can't see myself without a Border Collie, I just adore them but if my health wouldn't allow me look after them properly I would have to rethink my options. But until that time comes I will go with my beloved BC's. Saw a lady go past me the other day on a small disability scooter & she had her darling Border sitting between her feet as still as, just beautiful. They'd just been for a coffee in town & were on their way home. She happily told me she was 89 years old before she zoomed off home. There is hope for me yet. I thought that was lovely to see.

Perry's Mum Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 BC Crazy - just go for older ones - there are always plenty of quieter older ones looking for homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meea Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If I ever can't manage to care for a running dog and am resigned to the couch it is a snoring farting slobbering bulldog for me. That or get married Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We already have our retiremnet breed though it will be a while before I retire - but perfect breed now too given our current life style. A greyhound, a rescue that came from greyhound rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRADA68 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I have had major health concerns and not able to look after my heart and soul breed German Shepherd Dogs. I have a terrier now however, when I am older and more retired it will be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel a rescue would be fine. A small desexed female that can be soft and loving and enjoys spending time on the couch and on my scooter that gets me around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefairy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 My retirement dog....which I am hoping to get by the end of this year or early next is a Pug. They are very laid back, will walk if you want to or lay on the lounge cuddled up to you if you have a lazy day. They are not high energy, demanding dogs, but they do love company. Perfect for me.
