Below in the article we will look at 8 reasons why you should think carefully before getting a spaniel.
❤️My favorite and such a funny mixed breed (Russian hunting spaniel??)❤️
This review is dedicated to my beloved dog named Molly.
And although Molly lives with my mother, she grew up and was raised before my eyes. Molly came to us a little over a year ago and has become a beloved member of our family.
❤️INTRODUCTION❤️
More than two years ago, grief happened in our family - our wonderful and adored dog Lisa, whom we picked up from the street as a puppy, died. She lived with us for more than six years, and her loss was a great surprise and tragedy for us. My mother (and, of course, all of us) was worried about her death for a very long time and decided not to take any more animals. But about a year later, my brother finally persuaded her to take the puppy he found through an advertisement. This ad stated that the puppy was a mixture of a spaniel (from the mother) and some other small breed (from the father). At that time the puppy was a month old. This is how a miracle appeared in our house (or rather, in my mother’s) which we called Molly.
❤️DIFFICULTIES❤️
The first time with a new dog was not easy. Moreover, she was very different from our previous dog, with whom everything was easy and simple. Lisa never chewed on anything, didn’t do anything dirty, and didn’t mind being alone. Molly was not like that at all.
1. Whining . The dog constantly whined - at first because she missed her mother and brothers, and then she simply demanded constant attention. As I've gotten older, the whining has become less frequent, but is still there sometimes.
2. Toilet training . As a puppy, Molly pooped everywhere and often. Later she learned to wear a diaper, and then began to do “her own business” on the street. But sometimes she may not be able to bear it and go into diapers.
3. Intrusiveness . Molly followed (and continues to follow) us everywhere, and sometimes it was difficult to mind our own business. Even to do exercises, my mother had to go to a separate room and work out to the persistent whining outside the door.
