Type of Pet

by Angel
(Lewisville, TX)

We recently went full time in our class A motorhome. Our 12 year old cat simply could not adapt and showed her feeling by peeing on our bed almost every day. We finally had to place her in a new home. But we feel empty without our 4 legged family member and have been visiting shelters and humane society's looking for a new pet. My husband want's a dog - our question is what type of dog would do well as a full time rv'r? I don't care for "foo foo" dogs and can't stand long hair and shedding. So what are your suggestions? Thank you so very much!

Little Dogs - Big Hearts

You might consider a Havanese or, if you like really wired little characters, a Jack Russell Terrier. We have a Schipperke, which is simply a bossy German Shepherd in mufti -- he has too much hair for your requirements. Damned cute, though.

I know about the pet size limits - which is why we are looking for small-med dog. The question to ya'll full time rv'ers' is what breed of dog how you found to be adaptable in an rving environment. Excluding "hair" dogs like shitzu's, poodles, etc.

You experience and knowledge is appreciated.

If you are going to get a dog, don't get one that will get very big. Many parks will not allow any over 40 lbs, some less. Several parks that I am familiar with have section were pets are allowed. Some RV parks will not allow pets.
