Hi
My name is Jay and I have a horsefield tortoise named Spike. I have him 8 years now and love him dearly. He is such a great character and loves roaming around the house and garden.
I am thinking of getting a dog, but I am afraid of how it will interact with Spike. I don't want to restrict him in anyway as he has the freedom to go around as he pleases. I am thinking of a beagle but am holding off on getting one until I have researched it fully and ensure that Spike will not be at risk. I know they would have to be monitored all the time.
I would appreciate any advice anyone could give me in relation to this. Or is there particular dog breed that may be better suited. Not a big dog though!
thanks
Jay
