Considering Adopting A Powderpuff
A friend of mine is fostering a very sweet, super calm 6-month old powderpuff girl rescue and I met her for the first time today and we fell a bit in love. I've never had a dog before, but have always had cats, and currently have two 2-year-old rescue cats who are very independent but also very sweet. After my previous cat died I had been considering a small dog, since I would love to have a companion animal that could accompany me into the world, but ended up rescuing these two, and they aren't suited to being out in the world.
Realistically, as someone who's never had a dog before, would this be a good breed to consider starting with? What kind of care does this breed require? I've read a bit about grooming needs, and I live rurally and have a yard that could be fenced, so grooming is currently my biggest concern, but would love to know what other things I need to consider are? She has lived with cats, and the cats were fostered with dogs but still a little wary of them.
