Does anyone have a dog and work a 9-5?
I would love a dog but couldn't commit to getting home at lunch for a walk etc. Would a 'less energetic' dog such as a british bulldog be bothered by this, from what i have read they are lazy gits who get tired from over-exercise so would morning/evening walks daily suffice? Would get pampered by me and the mrs when we got home thats for sure, just weighing up whether its fair on the dog or not

Dogs are sociable animals. It may not be a case of just excersise, it's how they react for being left for 8 hours.
We've been able to do it with dogs in their old age, who are content to sleep and don't notice being left so much.
We're in the same boat. Desperately love having dogs but can't take one on whilst we work all day
It does help a bit that I borrow my little Pikey Terrier at weekends and our cat thinks it's a dog!

True, thats why i was contemplating a british bulldog, given their reputation for being rather less energetic. Wouldn't contemplate a collie or jack russell type as they are always wanting to play non stop from past experience. Anyone on here own a british bulldog and can comment?
This is Sam 3yr Long Coat German Shepherd.
I've had him 2yrs, he's a rescue dog, pref owner was too ill to look after him.
BasketBall lasted 30mins before it was in the bin
So many lovely dog's credit to you all.....sad to read about the losses, took me 11yrs to come to terms with my first dog lose.

Yeah, we do - thankfully we have a dog walker that we trust so she still gets her 'lunchtime' walk every day during the week if we're not in. Sometimes I'm home before the dog if I'm back early as well. Think its good for her as she runs around in a pack with a few other dogs, so gets to burn off energy and socialise, etc. which is important as well.
I think she would go a bit stir crazy in the house all day - I probably would myself
These are my 2 terriers Fimby and Mini. Fimby is a 10yrs old border x lakeland she's a great working terrier. Mini is a pedigree border terrier she's just over 4.5 months old. Full of character and game as you like.
Mini aged 10 weeks
