[QUOTE="witzend, post: 535449, member: 99"] I think I would look at an older dog from the pound who would be ok slouching around the house. Puppies of any type need to get out and run around, and they need to have continuous basic training. I don't think it's fair to get a dog then lock it up all but 4 hours a day, [I]especially a puppy[/I]. I would hate it, and they hate it too. For us, it's been better when I was able to have a "dog room" that had an old sofa in it that looked out the window. It's also been a godsend that we have two dogs that love each other to bits and both know their place in their pack. They play with each other and keep each other company. We also had an arrangement with a trusted neighbor kid who took the dogs out when I worked. I left a dollar per dog on the table in the entry way. If Sam came and walked the dogs, he got the money. More often than not the dollars were gone when I came home. [/QUOTE]
