I'm so beyond bummed right now

You've gotta get into corgis, instead ; )

All the heart of a big dog, with half the size.

Sounds like my australian cattle dog, save she thinks she's a lapdog at the same time.

It is not just a large dog - the Irish wolfhound is HUGE.

They are not so bad, tall rather than massive and heavy, we have a Pyrenean Mountain dog a Bernese mountain dog and a GSD.

The berner is only half the height of the Wolfhound but can be quite a bit heavier !! Costs less than £20 a month to feed all three. Just depends on what you give them.

Thank goodness my wife does not read or post here, else we'd be making a trip to pick up the pony, I mean wolfie, no I mean pony......I've always wanted one too but with two doxies and a big german shepard, even my yard would be stressed...

Wolfhounds are very similar to Greyhounds in temperment. Sure, they require a lot of exercise (as do all normal, healthy dogs, and people), but they are actually quite mellow in the house and make good apartment pets, as long as you see to their needs with 2-3 brisk walks per day.

When I was in veterinary school in Davis (California) I recall walking past an apartment every day that had a tiny little 10 foot square backyard. I would greet their Wolfhound as he jumped up on the fence. He seemed happy, thin, and well cared for.

If you are able to be home for it most of the time, a Wolfhound is a fine apartment pet.

Be well,

Speaking of Corgis, I ran across one on C-L recently - he came home w/ us tonight.

So we've got a new family member, a wee dug named Stanley.

He's a bit worn out from the ordeal, so no smiling pics yet, but soon....
