Hi, I am gathering info on OES dogs... Because I am in love and want to prepared when I get a new dog I have some Questions about adoptions and the doggy breed... 1 we have a standard chain link fence do I need an electronic fence as well ( they are going to be an inside dog) 2 I like canoeing how are they near water. ( I plan to shave them in the summer brush them deep once a week and make sure no debree is on them after every romp) so.. Water in the summer? 3 I do not have a vet that knows me in this state.. Should I get a reference from someone I intend to use. And how do you feel about pet insurance. 4 there are a couple chickens , they are herders, are they soft with there mouths when herding? We are debating a rescued dog or a puppy. We are no strangers to re homed rescue dogs or puppies. Jury's out still. The answers to these questions will really help me decide. This isn't a rushed decision but I miss having a dog too much. Thank you for the help |
