Bubewilson:Not good bro, imagine leaving a year old child at home without supervision or care for nine hours a day what do you think will happen?. |
Re: Dog Home Alone. by naijainfogalery: 3:08pm On Sep 04, 2015 |
Bro It depends, Kindly answer this question, Do you have anyone that can take care of the dog while you are away? If you must get a dog dont get aggresive ones. For example , i work 12 hours Including distance time So i leave for work around 6am but i wake up as early as 5, the dog is usually in my room till around after 6 that i am leaving, then i feed it, luckily i have some other peeps around that dont leave the house until 10, so they also feed it and leave extra food, by the time school closes i have neighbours that will be home by then then they also feed it around 2 then when i get home around 6, we play all through till like 11pm before i sent it back to its cage. The dog loves every one, Once u can get someone to feed it while you are away, bro get one and build a cage, lock him in with that there wont be any issues, If u dont have anyone to feed it, then that one will be hard small except u can get enough food that will last them till u come, but u cant do that for puppies cos u will need to feed puppies 4 times a day but adults can be fed twice daily 1 Like |

naijainfogalery:thanks for your explanatory comment. 1. Aggressive. Whats your assessment please? I intend to adopt any of GSD, Tibetian Mastiff or Saint Benard. I have penchant for big dogs but due to there rearity and high cost I would go for a GSD pending when I can get the other one. 2. Age. About Pups (8 weeks) having need to be fed 4 times, which can prove daunting for me, how many months old dog do you rather suggest i go for. 3. Feeding. School children/neighbours will feed the dog when they are back by 2-3pm. |

Since you are kind of busy, you can start with a 3 or 4 month old GSD, by then they are growing towards adulthood where u will need to feed them 3 times or twice unlike pups that have small bellies that will have to keep eaten small chunks till they are full, Just get the dog everything will sort itself lol the most important thing is the little time u spend with them make it a quality time. Would love to get a St Bernard some day Bubewilson: |
