My wife and daughter are itching to get a dog for the family [we currently have 2 cats -- the dog will not arrive until the male cat dies, he's 17].
My brother has a dachtsund and both wife and daughter want one just like it. Since I'll end up walking the thing all the time and it'll become mine in the end I was wondering about what dogs are the best in the woods.
The weiner dogs legs are just too short and I don't think that I'll be able to do much hiking with one. Based on all of your experiences with dogs in the woods, what would be good? [not likely to bolt after something, can actually walk over or around things taller than 6 inches high, things like that]
Note -- i had a dog as a kid, it was a weiner, so my experience won't help answer the question.
