Interesting comments. We are havering about getting a pup and with two 2 seaters and a saloon with seperate bot, we are wondering abou the practicality. The dog would be springer sized.
From what people are posting it sound as if its quite practical albeit neither 2 seater has any room behind the seats so its footwell only
Any tips aboput the pitfalls of puppy buying - what to do and what not to do?
For practicality get a dog that your passenger is happy to have sit on her lap (or your lap if you’re the passenger) and try and find one that doesn’t shed too much hair. An added bonus is finding one that is easy to clean/dry. The Fox Terrier fits the bill but the smooth haired ones do shed. Whippets or Italian Greyhounds are also ideal or even a Manchester Terrier. Spaniels look beautiful and are great working dogs but can get wet and muddy. Look for congenital defects in a breed and buy from a good breeder that you are happy with. You may pay more that way but it will probably be worth it in the long run. Don’t get a dog if it will have to be left alone for any period of time longer than a few hours and if you have nowhere for it to go when you do go away - plan ahead. Be prepared for long walks in the cold, the mud, and the rain. Be prepared to meet lots of new people and have people start talking to you. It’s similar to a Morgan in that respect. Enjoy!
