Default Suitable puppy owners?

Hi there,

We have been thinking about getting a puppy for a few months now but wanted to wait until we had a suitable space to keep one (which we now have) however, despite us really wanting to
get one we're not sure our lifestyle is suitable. My partner and I both work full time (although we do both sometimes work from home too - Fridays I do) and we're both at home at weekends.
We would love a puppy but really don't want him/her to be sad during the day and not get enough exercise, or proper training.

Appreciate there could be many opinions on this subject but are keen to hear your thoughts. If we we're to get a puppy we would be considering a Labradoodle.

Many thanks!

Your puppy will be fine as long as it gets walked daily to relieve itself try using crate training to stop mess when your at work.

I think as long as you can perhaps get someone to go in during lunch time and let the dog out for a while then you should be ok. A friend of mine hired her friend to walk her dog once a day for her when she was at work.

Be prepared tho I got my puppy on Friday night and so far he has cried allllllllllll night long. It's worse than when my son was born!!!
