You are obviously a supporting person, trying to help out, but the reality is that a puppy is far too much work when someone is already older and caretaking a spouse. Why not wait a year and see how things go. There are litters of puppies around all the time. I don’t think you are understanding this situation at all. My SIL is showing me a liter of pups her work mates have. She mentioned how cool it would be if we all had liter mates. She hasn’t even mentioned it to her mom. So that’s is up to her. I really didn't post to discuss what is best for my MIL....I just wondered if y’all could identify this breed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 14 minutes ago, Scarlett said: Good grief. If she wants a puppy she will get one. If she doesn’t she won’t. She is capable knowing what she wants and what she can handle. A man my dh worked with lost his wife in a car crash and a thoughtful nurse with a litter of yellow lab puppies gifted one to him. He accepted the puppy, but had no time to train it, had to hire out a teen to walk it, and eventually gave it up. It was an added burden at a time when he was vulnerable and couldn't say no. Just be aware that you may be owning the puppy, or you may see it destroyed or given up if it doesn't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I agree that a tired dog is a good dog. But the problem is that it's often impossible for an average person to tire out a truly high energy dog. And the pointing breeds (which include many of the breeds we've guessed about these parents) are all the super highest of energy dogs, the triathletes or marathoners of the dog world. The posts people have made about Labs and how long it takes them to grow up--IME Labs are way easier and lower energy than the true pointing breeds (Brittanies, the breeds that actually have "pointer" in the name, Weims, Viszlas are the most common pointing breeds). Because I have experience with pointing breeds I don't really even consider Labs high energy dogs. The ones I've known have all been typically active dogs, but all were/are complete couch potatoes in comparison to most specimens of the pointing breeds that I've known. I cannot emphasize enough how vast the difference is. There are separate lines of Labs for hunting and for pets, and most people end up with a pet bred Lab. There are no lines of the other breeds that aren't bred for hunting. They're bred to be serious canine athletes with enormous stamina, and as such it can be very difficult to tire them out enough that you find the "off" switch. It's out of reach of most people who have normal lives. Edited December 13, 2019 by Pawz4me 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first few years we had her xh insisted she be an outside dog unless she was in her crate. But she just dug holes, ripped up trees, dug under the fence and ran away constantly. I remember my XH saying to me so scornfully, ‘you can’t even watch the dog while you are home all day.’ I remember thinking 1) you are an ass and 2) there is no keeping up with her while she is outside in the back yard and I am inside taking care of our son. She would do much better inside her crate with the door open.....which eventually led to her being out of the crate and as soon as xh moved out we moved the pup in the house. By then she was 5 and much calmer, but would still run like the wind at every chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's out of reach of most people who have normal lives. Yes! Although I'm seeing some variation in weimaraners now. I mean, the show ones are still super high energy, but less intense than the field one I had back in the day. The field bred one could run for 2-3 hours straight at the park, running through huge fields and wrestling with groups of dogs, and then come home bouncing around the living room begging to play. There was no way to wear that dog out. We still talk about the first time I ever saw her lay down without being either commanded to do so or in her kennel with the door closed - she was 7 months old. That's right - for the first 6 months of her life she never one just laid down to rest. Even at 9 yrs old she would walk around the house most of the day. The ones I fostered recently were not QUITE as active as that, but still close. There would be NO WAY to wear them out without another dog for them to chase/wrestle with. So yeah, a dog that is designed to literally run for 8 hours straight is not going to be worn out by a 74 year old woman, I don't care how active she is. A lab on the other hand is bred to sit quietly beside the hunter in the blind until the bird is shot and the hunter gives the order to go get it. Very different. They can still have a lot of energy to burn, but they do have an off switch 🙂 Labs settle down around 3-5. Weims settle down around age 9-10 🙂 I'd put pointers in that same category, more or less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 At first glance mom reminds me of a lab mix. Both dogs also look like they have some sort of pointer in them to me. My friend has an English and a German shorthair, I see a bit of their characteristics in the parents. They both look like mixes to me and in my very limited experience, puppies of mixes make great dogs. It helps that you can ask the owners what the parents personalities are like.

I'm the one who would be home with it all day while he's at work!! I would really love another Dobie as our next purebred pup (we usually do 2 mutts/rescues to 1 pure breed). She was the absolutely easiest puppy we've ever had. So easy to train and so obedient. Putting together breed ban issues and our needs we will probably get a pure Lab or another Lab mix as next dog. Doberman, and a few other breeds possible, but they aren’t as versatile. I think match of right dog to circumstances is really important. I’d love a duplicate of current dog. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Ok, we have decided to get one. We are going to get her Friday. My SIL and her roommate took one home yesterday. She initially picked one out by pictures....and she showed me the pic. I was just so in love with the picture which I will post shortly. Then they got there and the one they picked out by picture was the most feisty of all....and that was not a good match for them because they have an older chihuahua that is a timid diva. So instead they went for a very chill girl.....and when she told me I immediately turned to Dh and said I want her! He had been encouraging me to get one of them anyway,,,,so of course he was on board. Here she is. I can’t wait to hold her. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If less than 16 weeks or so them IMO expecting her to hold it for two hours during the day is totally unrealistic. Like @Selkie said, I think people need to aim for taking a puppy out every 30 minutes (if at all possible) until they're several months old. If she's crated while you work, and if you tire her out pretty well before leaving, and if you get lucky on how her body handles food, then . . . maybe two hours is doable. I'd be prepared for her timetable to be shorter, though. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
