Peeewee if ur on the level then my advice is no matter how excited u are at the thought and how much you might want that dog DON'T GET IT.
Dogs require lots of time and company. They are pack animals and it shows.
Locking it up in a crate is wrong but having one is not.
Dogs like tight spaces when they are alone.
Naturally they would find a cave or other natural closed in space to sleep and be happy so having a crate is great provided the dog can come and go as it pleases.
But you are going to be gone 10 hours a day for 6 days a week and no dog should be left alone for that long. Heavens mine has a fit when I go shopping.
If you do not have the time to give to it then please do not have a dog. Wait until you and your partner have the time to give. As hard as that is it will be so much better for the dog and you. A dog is a complex animal and needs to be given as much as you can give it. You will get so much more out of the relationship if you do.
So as said please do this dog a favour and don't get it. When you are ready to give your time then get a dog from the shelters and not a breeder.
