Thanks BlueBelle. You are right! Not sure what is bothering me the most. Dog not here yet - arrives Saturday. I am maybe thinking it will speak a different language bahaha. Anyway, it isn't a whim and I know she will put in time and effort with her.

My friend has adopted from Romania and there are a group of local people who all meet up and have group walks The dogs are wonderful and no better or worse than local dogs if a dog needs a home why does it matter where they come from No reason to be more afraid of a dog from overseas they will be free of illness or injuries and matched carefully I believe they keep in touch afterwards too
are you afraid of her having a second dog or are you afraid of it coming from overseas and if it’s the latter Why?

I wouldn’t have two dogs if the children are very small but that’s just my personal preference plenty of people let their babies grow up with dogs

My DD has gone ahead and adopted a dog from Romania. Whilst I understand her emotional reasons, I think she is taking on a lot as she already has a dog and three young children! I tried to dissuade her in fact!

Has anyone any experience of adopting from abroad? My feeling there were more than enough in this country if she needed to re-house?

Having said that she is doing it properly through Dog's Trust and I must say they have been very thorough in their investigations and been to her house to assess - given pointers on what she will need etc - in fact more thorough than when she brought her babies home! They have confirmed the dog needs canine company.

I don't know why I feel scared but I do?
