PM: Fenton Owners

Me & the wife want to adopt a fenton, probably from Dogs Trust and poss within the next 12 months. We've got two kids (5 & 2) and looking on the DT website there seem to be a lot of dogs who are suited for adults / older kids only.

I grew up with border collies and understand a bit in terms of the committment etc, however the wife has never had a fenton.

If you don't mind, comments please on your breeds, the committment req'd and any other comments.

Woof.
