• A bit of space is essential

    Loads of people recommend sighthounds and lurchers as flat suitable dogs particularly because they don't need a garden. They don't have to do their crazy running in a garden if you have access to other open space. I mean, who has a garden big enough for a sighthound to prpoperly gun it in? Otto needs about 100m x 100m!

    I totally appreciate that it might not feel like that with a young one though :D

  • We’ve found that with Odie (not a sighthound) in that when he’s at home he doesn’t really use the space we have as much as we assumed he would. He’s out at least twice a day, dashing about and exploring, then he just crashes out at home. I guess with larger dogs, it’s more that they just take up space and are going to be under foot or bumping in to stuff more in smaller spaces?

  • Otto gets half of our three seater sofa and hes only 14kg so I hate to think what life would be like with a bigger dog...
