Where is Ellie? I can’t see her…
Ali gets no say. He eats what he’s told, wears what he’s told, says what he’s told then repeats it back (fragrance wardrobe, Daxon etc) so no, it’s unlikely he even knows there’s a seriously difficult dog coming into his life. No one who hasn’t had experience of this breed would choose one. She likes the look of the puppy and that’s where it stops. It’s a scent hound ( she would call it a fragrance hound) and it will run rings round both of them. They will need to put fences up everywhere because this dog bulldozes wherever it wants to go! They can SUFFER excruciatingly with dermatitis,, eye infections, ear problems, elbow and hip problems. This dog is a minefield if you don’t want to put any effort in. He will be left entirely to Ali and it will become almost a full time job for him. They prefer to be single dogs too. Quite frankly there are few worse choices she could have made - but hey - the puppy looks nice so ….
