Chris likes Border Collies but a friend of mine had one a while back and it was mad! A border collie is also a bit bigger than I was thinking.

I've always had cats in the past so this is new to me but I'm going into it with my eyes open and doing all my research first.

So, any advice would be appreciated.

If our going to get a dog, go to the RSPCA at Altham. They will let you chose from a large range of dogs.
And they will make sure its suitable for you and your enviroment, make sure its neutered and take out insurance, vets bills can be very expensive.
A well trained dog is a pleasure to have, as long as every one in the household uses the same commands, Sit, Stay, Here, Down etc,
not wait a minute for stay.
A dog cant understand sentences and becomes confused.
Retlaw.
