[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If neither of you has owned a dog before, why do you want to start with a puppy? How did you choose which crossbreeds you are interested in? I feel like so many people go into getting a puppy without understanding what they’re really getting into.

If you’re home with the dog for the first two months, but the pup will ultimately be alone 3 days a week, make sure you’re doing away training during the first couple months. That’s a tough adjustment for a dog to make.[/quote]

I’m not the OP, but I am guessing she chose breeds that are a good match for a first-time dog owner. Would you recommend she get a breed that is more difficult to train, with a possible difficult early life that is being rehomed? People skewered a different poster on another thread for asking how to find a young adult dog with a mild temperament, basically saying an inexperienced dog owner would never find such a dog. Puppies are work, for sure, but it’s not that hard. Way easier than babies and obviously most of us had babies without having been parents beforehand. [/quote]
