Advice on getting a new dog

[princessAlo]

Hi everyone I'm thinking about getting a dog. Not a puppy. I got a puppy in April at 12 weeks and I just could not cope with training it and it was like a baby howling all night.
Although I think I could look after an older dog. I was looking at a lab who is 3 and a cockapoo who is 3. Although I think my friend said cockapoos can get a bit smelly out in the wet?

I currently don't want but I am looking for a part time job, I have a daughter who is nearly 5, I do a hairdressing course which is 9.30-2/3pm. Although the only thing is I Probly wouldn't be able to sleep over at my mums as much I would sometimes go down and stay over down there if I have had a few drinks etc when my daughter goes to her dads 2 nights a week so I wouldn't be able to do that anymore

Yeah very true!:/

If you really hadn’t thought about this, then definitely do not get a dog

Honestly...no one who loves their dog would give you their dog based off what you've said - which means any dog you do get, off gumtree (let's not even start on that) will from be riddled with health issues and behavioural issues. And if you can't cope with a puppy, you won't cope with a problemed adult.

But, let's be honest, you're going to get a dog. Then you're going to get rid of it again. So I'm not sure why you posted.
