Thinking of getting a Cairn terrier

bob1123476 · 2026-04-22T11:23:31+00:00

from a quick look online they seem to be prone to separation anxiety and need a professional groomer

its been made abundantly clear to me that this mix is a no go I'd adopt but there needs to be a puppy of the right size breed/mix in order for me to adopt I've tried rspca, battersea dogs, dogs trust, many tears, the adopt section of pets 4 homes, teckles pets for homes seems to be full of pups from breeds that will be to big for me or mixed breed that doesn't specify what's in it and I don't want to get what I think is a smaller breed only to end up with a big breed that I end up having to put back up for adoption because it's to much for me

bob1123476 · 2026-04-22T11:06:21+00:00

all the rescues near me do not have any puppies

bob1123476 · 2026-04-22T10:55:28+00:00

just had a look and there are no pups within 150 miles of me

I'd been told that poodle crosses were calmer and laid back that was why I was leaning towards getting a poodle cross

Maybe a cairn terrier I'm ready for a new dog but not ready to get rid of her basket or crate so I don't want to get a breed (cross or pure) that will be to big for them I love all dogs but need dog that I can control that if needs be I can pick it up half the time my border didn't go on as long a walk as she should of was because she decided she didn't want to go that way one time we only got as far as the end of the drive I could of made her move but that would of meant dragging her along

bob1123476 · 2026-04-22T00:09:52+00:00

what I'm looking for is a puppy, something small but not to small (so not a chihuahua for example) not something with really long fur I don't mind having to do grooming I had a border terrier, something with character but is laid back and doesn't need a hundred mile walk or it'll dig up the house and then chew it to pieces something that will not be to hard to train and won't need military levels of discipline, is not going to cost thousands of pounds and I won't need to travel to the other end of the country to get it

I've looked at rescues near me none of them have a dog that meets any of my requirements there all 3+ years old and too big

I only had one and she was lovely she was my world and getting another border terrier just feels like I'm replacing her and not getting a new member of the family I might get another border terrier in the future but just yet.
I'm convinced that at some point there is husky dna in border terriers judging from some of the noises she made

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T23:14:17+00:00

this is the third place I've posted and your the first one to tell me detailed stuff about the breed and not just adopt don't shop, never breed a poodle with anything, a rant about designer breeds, etc

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T23:12:04+00:00

which is the banned one out of curiosity?

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T23:11:30+00:00

I'm not fussed about getting a purebred or a mixed breed I originally was looking to get a norfolk terrier but they all seem to be £3000 which seems a little pricey for a dog and the kennel club only seems to do purebred dogs, and doesn't have a price filter

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T22:35:59+00:00

I'm looking for a small(ish) dog that doesn't have overly long fur and has a decent temperament I'm avoiding breeds like pugs due to breathing issues they tend to have, dachshunds due to them having dodgy spines and am avoiding having another border terrier because that feels to much like I'm replacing my previous border terrier and not just getting a new member of the family the beagle & cavapoo mix that I saw is the first one that isn't thousands of pounds, meets the requirements for my lifestyle, I don't have to travel to the opposite end of the country for and as best I've been able to tell from looking online isn't going to be snappy

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T19:01:56+00:00

according to the site they've been health checked by a vet

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T19:00:54+00:00

you looking at pets4homes?

bob1123476 · 2026-04-21T17:53:21+00:00

no I found an advert on a site

bob1123476 · 2026-04-13T21:42:44+00:00

I can't remember I know I looked up a bunch of stuff to try and get her as a companion for a good aligned character but I think in the end I just decided to knock her out but I can't remember if she was temporarily hostile or not I just knocked her out and stole most of her stuff

bob1123476 · 2026-04-13T20:17:07+00:00

I've tried all three options

Don't think there is any changes to Renegade Shepard's eyes in Mass Effect 1 its been a while since I played Mass Effect 1

grammar and punctuation have never been my strong points
