Breed Recommendations Please

I don't do much with Diesel :laugh: He just mostly potters around and goes for a walk. He is nearly 12 now but he is the lowest drive dog I have owned, even when he was younger he didn't require or want to do the amount of training that the Kelpies do.

Another breed I thought of a bit to left of field again....... A hairless Crestie.

Not many whippets down the beach - maybe because they're easily distracted by the rabbits and cats and foxes in the adjacent dunes... not to mention the seagulls.

There was one lady who quit coming to the beach with her cocker spaniel because it would fixate on a seagull and follow it back to the roost - 20km that way... along the beach.

But she didn't want to train it either. You know where you start in low distraction environment with lots of rewards and gradually build up to the beach with Olympic level distractions...

Maybe a female vizsla would meet requirements - I see a few of those at the beach, not sure what they weigh tho. The females are usually smaller than the males. They've got short quick dry coats and they tend to stick with their owners and they get along well with all the other dogs at the beach.

My vizsla boy is 22kg and very short for the breed (his sisters are all taller) but to me he's the best size I wouldn't want him any taller to be honest, my mums bitch is taller than him at 18 months old and weighs around 25kg. My boy would fit Aussies situation really well, mum's girl not so much, but if you matched with the right breeder it could work.
