Hi guys
We have been considering getting a puppy for a while now. I am due to have 6 weeks holiday so ideally this would be the best time to get one in terms of training, getting it gradually used to being alone for a while etc.
My main worry at the minute is that we have a holiday booked abroad 8 weeks after the holidays begin (I am changing jobs) and even though we haven’t even got a puppy yet I hate the thought of putting it in kennels for 2 weeks at that age (approx 20 weeks). Would it be stressful? Or am I being a worrier?
The only people to trust with dogs have 3 already so I wouldn’t want to ask them. Not sure I like the thought of a house sitter either. Others previously said they took their pup back to the breeder, but I would feel cheeky asking.
Any suggestions? Experiences?
Thanks
