Do you have friends or relatives with dogs?
We've never had one but both my grown up kids' partners grew up in dog owning households and have/had dogs of their own - both Spaniels.
Daughter's was a super pup but for reasons I don't understand he got aggressive with people (and occasionally other dogs as he got older. After several incidents with family he went for a neighbour who came round to do baby listening while my son in law took doggo round the block for a last walk. Damage to her hand required a trip to casualty. He was put down the following day. I think he'd have had to go anyway; incompatible with my (now) toddling grandson.
Son's is a rescue, almost certainly a Covid pup. She's absolutely super with people. He and she were with us over the weekend and she was all over me for cuddles and tummy tickles. She's a begaroo with other dogs though; she cannot be let off lead unless muzzled and even then she'll get in a stushie another dog for no obvious reason.
We thought about one a few years ago but realistically it wouldn't fit our lifestyle; much harder to go away even in the UK. And neither of us have the comittment you need to walk one, even a less energetic breed.
