[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all (most) for your very thoughtful and informative responses! As you suggest, we would be looking for a rescue/fostered dog, not from a pet store or even a breeder, and would want an older dog so we would have a better idea of its personality and so I wouldn't have to do the house-training. I don't expect perfection, but I do need to realistic about my and my family's limitations. As a PP said, it wouldn't be responsible to pretend those didn't exist and then just jettison the dog when suddenly its realities became unmanageable for us. I appreciate all the practical suggestions - fostering from a rescue organization in particular sounds like the ideal way to "try out" a dog that might potentially become ours. Lots of food for thought, too - I hear you about travelling and even going out during the day, and see the other thread here about it. We do travel a fair amount, and see it isn't as straightforward as dropping the dog off at the babysitter's. So still thinking . . . thanks for your help! [/quote]
