Bundyburger Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Hi All, My mum's looking for a new dog, and I was wondering if anyone knows of one that might fit what we're after? *Over 12 months of age *Doesn't jump or pull *Short coat *Good with kids & cats *Happy to live alone *OK to sleep outside at night but spend time inside during the day. *Doesn't jump fences Home is on half an acre in the country, surrounded by cows, horses and dogs next door. Mum's home all weekend every weekend pretty much, and when they do go away the dog will be able to go too. I currently have a Vizsla and a Kelpie x at my place, and Mum would ideally like a dog around a similar size. Are we likely to find it hard considering they want the dog to sleep outside?? Must be located in VIC, up to 2-3hrs from Melbourne or Warragul ok. Edited January 26, 2013 by Bundyburger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Bundyburger - why must the dog sleep outside? It's bloody freezing in Victoria. I can never understand this as a requirement, esp if the dog is actually allowed inside for part of the time.

Alkhe Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Mm, me too. Could they not allow him/her to at least sleep in a laundry or something? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffles Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 One of my dogs would be quite happy to sleep outside, in fact, I think he'd prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 my greyhounds sleep outside at night when I am at work. Warm coats and snug kennels keep them warm in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 The laundry is too small to have a dog bed in it unfortunately. They have a good setup for dogs outside and our two oldies were perfectly happy in fact they preferred being out to inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 another thing to consider is if she has ringlock / strand fencing to change that. THe country is usually a lot of temptation for new dogs :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
