I am looking for a rescue lurcher at the moment. I do not want a puppy as I need to be able to leave the dog a couple of days a week for work meetings (dog walker/dog daycare obviously as appropriate). I know this won't suit a puppy who needs intensive company, training and socialisation.
But how young is no longer a puppy? Does it depend on the dog? Breed? Is a one year old more likely to be ok with being on their own for a bit? 18 months?
