Toy poodle?

[HotChocolat]

Really want to get a toy poodle. Have done a lot of research and know people who have them. Me and partner both work full time, is this doable with a toy poodle puppy? It would be walked daily when we returned from work. We both come from dog homes so know all the commitments that come with owning a dog but neither of us have owned a toy!

DD1 has this one which I think will be suitable. She doesn't mind being left at home all day but you should maybe think about getting another toy to keep her company.

How ridiculous and I really hope you're not serious OP.

No, nope, never. We can only have a dog because DH works very pt ( semi retired) and ddog is only left for 2 hours 1-2 times per week. Anything more he goes to daycare.
We wanted a dog for 20+ years before we were in a position to look after one properly.

You can't be serious?
We have a toy poodle, and of all the dogs I have had, she is the most labour intensive, simply because she is very bright and wants to be part of everything you are doing. Also, as a puppy she peed around every 20 minutes!
Do not get ANY dog, you are simply not in a position to have one.
Is this a wind up?

I love dogs but haven't had one as an adult, because I work full time and so does dp. I can't see us getting one until we retire. It just wouldn't be fair to leave an animal on its own all day.
