Yeah that is very true as well. I realize puppies will just be that as well *l* I am also considering that i work mainly night shifts (mainly 6p-3a) so he/she wouldn't be left alone for long periods of time so i am also considering a breed that would be okay if it does in fact have to be alone (unless i can find a doggy sitter) or whatever. Last puppy i had a roommate and she would watch him but i was working the day shift. As you can tell i am studying/reseaching the type of breeds i am considering before i get a dog, even if it'll probably be about 4-6 months. never hurts to be prepared <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Getting good advice and information on here, keep it coming <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
