[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physical exercise is not going to exhaust certain higher-intelligence breeds. I grew up with german shepherds and you can walk them all day long, but they will be "bored" because you need to stimulate them MENTALLY. Training is usually the best way to do this for puppies. Learning commands and practicing them over and over will actually tire your puppy out. Not just walking around outside in a circle. [/quote]

So basically to have a dog you have to dedicate 6 hours a day to physically and mentally stimulating him or her ?  I am so glad I read these threads every time my kids ask for a dog.  Maybe dogs just aren’t happy not living with other dogs in a pack where they can do what comes naturally to them [/quote]

Don't get a dog if you don't want one BUT PP was talking about certain breeds like GSheps and Border Collies that are really best suited to be working dogs. And puppies are a huge PITA- I've only had dogs starting at age 1-2 yrs old. Certainly my CKCS didn't need six hours of activity per day even as a young dog. He just needed cuddles mostly[/quote]
