Re: As you get older would you change your breed?


Hope this is a decision I won't have to make for many years. However, it is something which slips through my mind now and again. I swither between various options but, probably, would look for a rescue lurcher - post-puppy age.
They are quiet in the house, don't need a lot of exercise (a mad 10 minutes off lead will do them!) and are a nice size - you don't have to get your creaky bodies down low to look after them!

Re: As you get older would you change your breed?


That's a toughie. Due to my own ill health we've already had to make that decision re: changing breed. I'd love to own another stafford but right now it just isn't gonna happen I wouldn't mind possibly owning a rottie (hubby loves rotties) or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

As for cats, moggies everytime

I can't speak for dogs, but cat-wise I would always opt for Persians. Only I think I will now try and seek out rescue Persians as I think they are quite misunderstood and difficult to re-home.

I have a secret hankering for a Siamese but deep down, I think I'm Persian through-and-through

Naomi a Rottie I wuld think needs as much if not more excercise than a Staffie I would of thought, but a CKCS you could be on the right track Or whippet.
