Hi,



Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think all dogs, regardless what breed they are from, requires time to be with their mama or papa... to build a strong bond.

I think you should really think abut the time matter, becos, it would be unwise to get one if you lack the time. Who is going to take care of it when u r away? And does the person patient enuf to handle an untrained pup?

By the way, welcome to the forum Smile

a 6 months dog is still a pup and easy to train compare to those adults that need more effort and patient.

if u have your parents to help u to take care the dogs, it will be ok to hav one.

but then it will be unlikely that u can develop a strong bond with her.

Carynna is rite. If u r not going 2 b home 12 hours in a day, den it’s better 2 defer ur decision 2 get a dog until u can commit a reasonable amount of time 4 d dog. GRs r people persons n will bcome depressed if deprived of human contact, n dis generally applies 2 all breeds as well.

D experts recommend dat a dog shldnt b left alone 4 more den 4 hours at a time. Max is 6-8 hrs 4 trained n reliable dogs.

Unless there is someone else at home 2 look after d dog…in which case it shld den bcome dat person’s decision on whether 2 get a dog or not.

Hi,

Well, if u want a small dog 2 take care of u can hav a toy breed dogSmile. If u want big dogs, u buy the GR.

well, it's quite easy 2 take of a care of a GR but trainning it is abit offf... Cs when ur dog is abit older it will remember little by little... Though u still can train itSmile
