like nina has said i would not get a dog or even 2 if i was going to be at work all day everyday as it is not fair for a dog to be stuck in all day long on its own, they will (most of the time) start looking for some thing to amuse themselves, my neighbour goes out all day and leaves her dog caged up in the house and all day i here her howling and crying its horrible,if she didnt cage her she would destroy the house, and my other neighbour has 5 small dogs she goes to work all day they get left and they have a dog door but they are constantly in and out barking and fighting all the time as they have nothing else to do with there time, please think very carefully before you get a dog just for it to sit on its own, unless you can afford a dog sitter then its a bad idea think of the dog
