[QUOTE=PinkMartini] I'm under the firm belief that if you work/have school/ect that leaves you away from home for 6-8 hours at a time, you shouldn't have a puppy. I don't mean this at all to offend, but I know of several breeders who won't even sell a puppy to someone who's going to be gone for that long daily. [QUOTE]
I can understand the reasoning and I respect your opinion, BUT everyone has to work, and preety much everyone has to work full time to pay bills and stuff, which leaves them out of the house for about 6-8 hours a day. If the qualifications for having a dog are to not work full time then i would have to say that MOST people would be out of luck and very depressed because of lack of canine companions. I am working and going to school, and my fiance has TWO fulltime jobs... which leaves us out of the house for at least 6-8 hours a day (five days a week, i am home on the weekends) . . . There are plenty of people taht work full time on this board, and if people who work like that arent allowed to own dogs
geez.... what would we save up to buy then if not another yorkie
Again i do understand where you are coming from, but IMO it is just unrealistic
