FI and I are talking about rescuing a dog once we come home from our honeymoon. We both grew up with labs/golden retrievers but we are thinking about a smaller dog for ourselves. We've done a little research but these rescues are obviously trying to get people to adopt their dogs so I'm looking for more unbiased opinions.
We're not looking for a puppy, just a younger dog. FI leaves for work at 8, I'm home by 2:30. I teach so I have a lot of time off in general and about 2 months in the summer when we want to get the dog. We have a medium sized, 6 ft. fenced wall, no other pets, no children (as of now). We take walks just the two of (between 1-4 miles) almost everyday already but FI is a runner, I'm not. Besides our honeymoon we vacation at my family's beach house with their labs/goldens. Obviously it comes down to the original dog and it's history but... Anyone care to share any beagle advice or stories?
