New breed
We are walking on a trail that could lead to our getting another dog.
Soon.
Not to replace Booker. He is irreplaceable. But we are guys who need a dog in the house.
We started looking for smaller dogs and were looking at Welsh Terriers which are mini-Airedale looking. Same coat, same black and red color combination. Only 20 pounds instead of 80. Stands 18 inches. Still pattable from a sitting position.
That in turn led to the suggestion from our old Airedale friend Rusty, who got us Booker, that we look at an Irish Terrier. They are the same size as a Welsh only slightly heavier and they are all red.
She has one who is six years old ready to be adopted.
We have also written to a guy in LA that has a two year old Welsh Terrier female who is looking for a home.
We like the Irish Setter setup. Rusty is a trusted entity who would match us as well as she matched us with Booker.
We will see.
The Irish is all red. No black. But looks for all the world like the Airedale body and tail. It can be trimmed the same way. This one is looking right at you. A generic Irish but close to what all Irish Terriers look like.
