[QUOTE="Voelven, post: 2770193, member: 922361"] Don't get a dog. Your family is not ready for one. - a father who says his kid can adopt any breed of dog, clearly has no knowledge of dogs and breed traits - a dog is a social animal and should not be kept outside alone - small dogs don't do well outside, they tend to be more delicate and sensitive regarding the weather. It can quickly get too hot or too cold for them Dog care tips: - Any breed of dog needs to go be activated physically and mentally for at least 1 hour a day. If you get a high active breed, you are looking at at least 2 hours every day - Any breed of dog (except working flock guardians) should not be left alone for more than 7-10 hours a day. Think about it: are you willing to spend that much time outside? It is much easier if you can hang out with your dog inside. You can nap with it, watch TV with it, read a book or do your homework with your dog next to you - All dogs being left alone need to have been home alone trained - Dogs need to be walked and exercised - Dogs need to be trained [/QUOTE]
