It's a brilliant idea. Even a really well-trained and biddable pup is hard work. I mean, there are aspects of havng a puppy that I'm not looking forward to. I have serious doubts that my house will be able to contain an active bearded collie puppy. The energy levels are incredible, and they're big puppies very quickly. I'll have to counter that with lots of little trips outside to run about.
Not much looking forward to the needle sharp puppy teeth either. And the having to be constantly vigilant during the housetraining stages.
Can't say I blame Ma at 67 not wanting all that again. And she'll get the pleasure of helping an older dog enjoy life again after bereavement.
