Ideation 8,216 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 To be honest a cocker could be pretty hectic for a child. We have a seven month dog here, very well bred, goes 100 mile an hour all the time. I'd either get a terrier from non digging background or a x bred dog. My little beagle x is soft as shit and pretty easy..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I wanted to buy a beddy x grey pup but the Mrs done some research and thought it would be a bit big lol..... it would be small for a short time. By the time it grew too big everyone would have fallen in love with it.. that was my plan lol.... She soon told me NO !!!!!! What you do here is buy a miniature poodle pup as a surprise for your lad,and act very surprised when it grows 24 inches tall a d starts catching bunnys You could keep your eyes open for a small beddy/whippet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Last year my sister asked me to find a dog for my 4 year old nephew. Somat small she said. Beddie whippet I said. Too big she said. Jack Russell she said. You'll better get a good spade I said 'cos it will go to go ground I said. Not it won't she said. Well don't ring me 'cos I have had my fill of digging In the last 3 months she has rung twice for me to dig to it. Next time I will bury the bugger myself. Cocker x terrier be my choice 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moel 18 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Border or patterdale/border cross Our 2 year old is permanently attached to our border (who is roughly the same age) Great temperament, very loyal (as a builder who tried to move the lads pram without the Mrs say so found out!). Need a firm hand to train as recall isn't to good (very stubborn), great ratter and doesn't go to ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
