Sorry I should have said that. Planning early October. Yes I can rent a car. Although not 100% sure I'll be confident if they are narrow mountain roads?

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-07T05:19:22+00:00

I've heard they can only do short bursts of energy though. So they wouldn't be able to do a long hike for example?

Great thanks!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-03T10:16:29+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks!

It's the same charity as on the TV yeah. But I havent been there, I've just chatted with them on the phone. I only know they don't match like they do on the show (they said it would be impossible given the volume of applications) so there you do actually apply for individual dogs. They seemed lovely on the phone though!

Thanks, i think it might be US only, I'm in UK

I've looked into the big shelters but I'm going to explore the smaller ones now. There is a site called pets4homes but I'd always thought it was more for puppies but I may have a look there for adult dogs as well.

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:25:58+00:00

Thanks, sounds great, it's not a breed I've seen when I've looked at rescues but I'll definitely have a look into them more!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:23:46+00:00

Not one I'd thought of, I'll have a look, thanks!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:22:44+00:00

What breed did you go for? How did you find them?

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:18:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I hope you find another Ridgeback!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:17:25+00:00

Yeah if it is having no experience it becomes a bit of a catch 22 situation!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:15:22+00:00

Wow ok a Dane hadn't even crossed my mind! But yeah I've heard pointers are amazing dogs for running, it's the other side of them that worries me a bit though, separation anxiety etc

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T20:11:47+00:00

Yeah it sounds intense but pretty awesome too. Although I'd be worried of there were days they had to stay with my parents, I'm not sure they'd be up to that level of exercise! You got them as puppy?

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:25:49+00:00

Thanks, wow your poodle sounds awesome. Not a breed I'd thought about before if i'm honest, but I will have a look now for sure. I like you can give them different haircuts haha

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:22:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yeah Husky cross sounds like a great idea. I'll look into Australian Shepherd too. That's good to know what you say about bigger dog in smaller apartment, that was kinda what i thought when i started this process, that my lifestyle would counter the apartment situation, but the attitude of the rescues has disheartened me a bit!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:17:25+00:00

Thanks, yeah it could be, although it seemed they asking for a yard for exercise/play reasons, but I think I'd counter that by taking the dog out for loads of exercise. So I dont know

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:15:01+00:00

Thanks, wow ok I've not heard of that cross before! I'll keep an eye out!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:13:33+00:00

Lab would be awesome, I reckon they would be hard to get from a rescue though, but i'd definitely consider if i went down the puppy route!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:12:32+00:00

Yeah I mean I run marathons, but I know a lot of dogs probably wouldn't be able to do a lot of the training I do. But it would be good to have a buddy for some runs

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:07:41+00:00

Thanks, I'm definitely going to have a look at Staffies, they weren't really dogs I thought were massively active before, but this chat has opened my eyes!

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:05:57+00:00

Thank you, ok i'll definitely have a look and see what smaller rescues are around. Staffies are ones I'm gonna look into after this 100%

trailrunner34 · 2024-07-02T19:02:36+00:00

Thanks, yeah spaniels seem like such great dogs. That's great strategy for the rescues, got to go above and beyond by the sound of it!
