Considering getting a puppy

[quote=Flynnster;2019199]A lifetime dog owner I would totally suggest starting out with a non-puppy. They are so much work it's crazy. Plus you save quite a bit of money going for an adult dog.

I raised bulldogs for the past 40 years.. We do use multiple crates, one in living room ,,one in office and one in bedroom until the pup gets trained then they are free to roam. A puppy won't even make it til noon without peeing in the crate..You can buy slotted rubber crate mats so the urine will run under the mat and the pup won't be laying in it. Getting a puppy with your schedule is going to be tough..People always think its going to be great to get a pup and then when finding out how tough it can be regret it.. Just my .02..
