We are considering getting a small dog, preferable one that would be on the low shedding list and that would be suited to sharing a house with a 6 year old DC. We are only in the early stages of research but I have a couple of questions.
I don't work and plan on walking the dog up to an hour early morning around 8am. If I then want to be out for 2 or 3 hours, would this be a reasonable amount of time to leave the dog alone? Would I be able to leave it outside in a kennel (heated maybe)?
I have heard of people putting the dogs bed in a crate, would that be acceptable say overnight?
Any suggestion on breed would be welcome too. Thks
