By ‘adopting’ you would still have to pay for the dog. Do you have children? Have you ever had a dog before? Looked after anyone’s dog? Work away from home? Are there any breeds you are particularly interested in? I would suggest going to Discover Dogs which is part of Crufts but that won’t be until next year now. That way you can meet many different breeds and their owners. They used to have a standalone DD at the Excel Centre in November but I don’t think it exists anymore. You could also go to different dog shows to see different breeds. They are held throughout the year. if you get certain breeds like a shitzu or poodle then you’d have to factor in grooming costs if you can’t do it yourself. You can always keep them in a very short clip. Many dogs shed a lot including short haired dogs like pugs. Golden retrievers are also notorious for shedding. I personally would never get a brachy dog like a pug, French bulldog or English bulldog ever. If you get a well bred dog from a breeder and can meet the parents then you would get an idea of what the dog will turn out like. Sometimes breeders have dogs returned to them for various reasons including illness of the owner. You could look for such a dog. It’s important that all dogs are socialised correctly during their first year as well as being exposed to outside influences. If this doesn’t take place then the dog has been done a disservice. But, there’s substitute to good breeding in my opinion or if you are getting an older dog perhaps you could foster first to get to know them. You could end up with a dog who’d been badly treated in a previous home and that would take a lot of fixing. If you are interested in sight hounds, @galgosdelsol are a rescue in Spain run by an English woman (they are on Instagram and have a website) who rehomes Galgos, Spanish dogs similar to greyhounds. They are often dumped by Spanish hunters if they won’t hunt and retrieve. They are thoroughly assessed and trained before being rehomed. A breeder of my favourite breed in York works with a Romanian rescue and she fosters a few dogs a year in order to rehome them in the UK. She’s even kept a few herself. -
Agree. They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.

I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment. -
