We came to the conclusion yesterday an ex-racer is okay for us, but Charlie the 40kg chunk we walked, might not be the one. Even with his injured paw I can imagine it's a terrifying experience when 'launch mode' is enabled. Have to think of Mrs Jambon!
The rescue centre we visited makes it clear a lot of dogs shouldn't be taken off the lead so was partly aware of this, thanks for all the views. We're both really excited about getting a rescue but want it to work, so will most likely wait a few weeks when the house is a bit more calm and revisit. Driving home from the kennels the calm feeling they gave us was really surprising, don't think I've ever said that when surrounding by 50 dogs!
Thanks for all the really helpful info!
