i All,
A friend of the family have just bred a gorgeous litter of puppies with two boys left and i am tempted...
I work from home the majority of the time so am home all day and go to the horses about 3pm for a few hours. My OH is home from work at 5. we lead an active life with the horse and fitness.
My parents also have a dog and would dog sit if we went away on holiday.
However i do know a puppy requires an awful lot of training and time. Obviously, growing up i have always had dogs (westies to be precise) but would you say this combo is a good one for a first time dog owner.
My plan would be to to have a puppy crate at the horses so he can be with me while im there and when i do ride (only for an hour tops at a time) he can be in a spare stable in a crate . I plan for the first few weeks to arrange care for when i go or bring him to the stables and keep in crate while i ride (for 45 mins)
i keep going through certainty to cold feet phases!
