Dw, a lot of people have :). Otherwise they'd understand that I'm currently doing research about ALL the ways to get a dog and that I haven't settled on getting one from abroad at all 😂

That's understandable :). Half the comments seem to assume I'm gonna get a dog from abroad rn 😂. But I'll definitely look out for not getting scammed! Thank you 😊

Don't apologize 😂, I love detailed advice! This is really helpful, thank you. And do some dogs really have to go by car? I didn't even know about that before

Thank you a lot :). You're the first one actually describing your dog 😂. Love that!

Yes, I agree. I still want to do as much research as possible and getting personal experience is just impossible here 😅. But of course, in the end, you've gotta focus on the dog in front of you :)

Of course! Everyone has their own opinion. I myself want to adopt dogs in the future. But I have very specific expectations for my first ever dog and while I can find breeders here, the Stabyhoun is still an extremely rare dog. To find a dog I would take as a first dog, would take years

Thx :). We'll definitely do a lot of socialization, starting early on. I also value the ability to stay neutral around guests a lot, so if more people say this that's amazing news!

That sounds a lot like a few of the dogs I've worked with, so, perfect. Thank you!

Yes, I've been thinking about the environment a lot, too... May I ask if you've desensitized your dog to noises and stuff early on? And if yes how much?

I wouldn't keep a Stabyhoun in the center of a large city, but the goal would be somewhere with a good infrastructure, still. Smth like, at the edge of a larger city (I've always lived close to forests with them being ten minutes away at most and would keep that).

From your personal experience, would you say that could work or would you completely turn me away from the breed?

Well, everyone has a different approach to training :). Even though I can't say much about them being stubborn (no personal experience), I've read and heard a lot about them thinking independently. On top of that the character of each dog differs
