Hi guys
So we've decided to get a pup. I'll be at work from 8am - 6.30pm Mon-Fri and my boyfriend most likely similar. We realise that its not fair to leave dogs on their own all day so we will probably ask the neighbour to pop in now and again. I also took some ones advice from this forum regarding checking on the pedigree chum website which dog would be best for our situation - You enter all relevant details including the amount of time each week that the dog will be at home by itself and it throws up a list of dogs that best suit you etc. Anyway it actually said that the dog we want, a Cavalier King Charles would be one of a few that would suit our situation.
I just want to know is it ok to leave a dog on its own and then make up to it with lots of love and walks etc in the evenings and at weekends?
A friend of mine had to sell her Bichon Frise because the RSPCA told her that they can actually suffer from anxiety attacks if left on their own?
Is this type of thing normal in all breeds or just some? And back to my original question - is it ok to leave our dog at home while we work?
