although if your going to be out all day you might want to consider a dog walker, its not fair for a dog to be left inside all that time, especially a puppy.

You said you are gone all day. Why do this to a dog??? As a child would you like being left at home all day with no companionship??? That is just cruel!
Get 2 similar size dogs about the same size and age, and they can enjoy each other while you and family are gone.
We have 2 Shihtzu's and they are great with everyone they have come in contact with. Very playful both with kids and themselves. Great travelers also (motorhome all over the countyr).
Even though we have 2 dogs they still prefer human company and are very excited when we get home.

That's why we are researching before adopting, to make sure we can adjust our life style to welcome a pup into our home. If we can't do it, then we won't get a pup. The last thing we want to do is adopt a dog and make its life miserable.

Do you think two cats would be enough company for a puppy?
