If you're not too fussed about a particular breed I'd recommend having a look at a rescue. Not sure if you've read up-thread but I've just adopted a dog from an organisation called Underdog International. We gave them a description of our lifestyle and our home and they basically picked us a dog based on that. In our case we needed a dog that was good with cats, good with young children (I have a 6 month old niece) and happy living in a busy city with a small garden but they have dogs that would suit any circumstances really.

Hello. First post in this thread, askin some advice. We would like to get a pupper. We already have a cat, eight chickens and a cockerel, five beehives and two kids under 4. We live in a rural village with lots of garden and walkies.
What stopped us until now was that we both worked in london, but obviously that’s changed and likely pretty permanently.
Neither of us has had dogs before. Reading about medium sized breeds that are good with kids and cats has brought us to the German Shorthaired Pointer. Does anyone have experience of the breed? Some say they need lots of attention/walking is it more than usual?
Any other breed advice? Thanks in advance x
