This is what I would be happy with.. or some mild behaviour issues that can be trained out with hard work and persistence.
Kestral's not a hugely challening breed (quite active, high prey drive, independent) but with challening behaviour!

An easy dog. OH & I would not be able to spend the time required for a challenging dog & as novices to the dog world neither of us has the requisite skills & experience to cope with a dog with challenging behaviours. And we know that.

Are Bcs classed as easy or challenging? Because either way I don't think we'd have anything else

Flint is easy, apart from barking at some dogs, Gemma is easy-ish....Simba hmmm, can I call him a challenge?
Hes a lot better now he's grown up a bit, but I still wouldn't relish the idea of having his issues over again in another dog

I take them as they come But yes, an easy life for me please. I would not actively seek out a dog who had trouble with other dogs/couldn't be walked off lead/had severe seperation anxiety etc for example.

I have always liked a challenge, but as I am getting older I want the easy, quiet life. Hence having greyhounds now.
In my head though I would still like a more active challenge but my body and heart say my two sleepy heads.
