New dog time

[AHPP]

He hasn't got the details. All he offered was this. Not local.

If you're doing lots of long walks Terrier or Dalmatian. They'll walk all day with out causing too much trouble. Both breeds are as healthy as can be expected.

Although I’ve always admired Lurchers I don’t want a bigger dog, I’m told there are some Whippets due on a traveller camp in Kidderminster shortly, I’ll go for a look-see with caution, I don’t know the folk. 

When you go and see them ask the thieving scum if they’ve sold my mates two terriers  they nicked from his garden. Wouldn’t buy anything from a pikey - just encourages them to steal more!

Here we go, tar everyone with the same brush! Can we keep it to smaller dogs that can live in my trailer or camper comfortably?

An old boy who I used to beat with told me a lab is born half trained, a spaniel dies half trained. He wasn’t far off the mark. Just too big for what space I have.

He was right. Jack Russel, loyal, smart, small?

That is why I suggested Lurcher.
Dog in my pic is half terrier half whippet. 
Small smart and will walk all day. Curls up like a cat. Perfect....but at 15 hasn't got much longer.

Grew up with whippets/racing, fantastic breed and would suit your lifestyle, I’d contact whippet clubs., still several up North.
Had Border Terriers for the last 15 years, the  old boy is on his last legs now, would certainly have another, clever, strong, quiet, full of character. 
The French don’t really do ‘Sight’ dogs so a whippet here is out of the question, Jack Russel, Fox Terrier and Dachshund are common. The French Dachshund is commonly known as a Teckel, not the Dachshund you would be familiar with in the UK, it’s a wire haired, thick set short legged working terrier and is certainly on my list when the old boy passes.
