Hi there...

I have done months and months of research into getting a dog and into different breeds and have decided on a yorkie. I have wanted a dog for about 10 years so it isnt a rash desicion!! I think it's the right time for me, as I have the next 8 weeks off work so I can be home with the puppy to settle him in etc..

After I go back to work, I will be out of the house between 8 and 6. However, I also live with my mum who only works 3 days a week. I don't want to be selfish and get a dog if this is too much time for him to spend alone. I would walk him every day and would love nothing more than coming home to a dog, but I just want to know what you guys think. I would appreciate any feedback. Yorkshire Terriers are my fave, but does anyone know any other breeds which are better being on their own some of the time?? Thanks a lot.
