Possibly. Like stated by Chris breed is important to this. Need to ask some experts, Vets, breeders, mspca, about what they think. It is a big purchase. I am sure they could help you out. I am no expert but have had dogs my whole life, but just my opinion. Also don't forget how expensive one dog is never mind 2. Vets, food, etc, and if they have any major problems well now we are talking 1000's. My old dog needed to have her ACL done at one time and it cost me 1500 bucks, and that was just one problem. For example, and an extreme one , a good friend's family dog ate a whole tennis ball. It clogged it intestinal track. Very sick animal. Well after a surgery and other options the poor dog died after surgery. Grand total for the ordeal $12,000 and a deceased animal. Don't get me wrong Mike I luv dogs . I so miss mine still but since you have not owned one I am just trying to give you a look at the non fun part of a dog ownership. You might want to look into pet health ins., which should be right up your alley.With all the doom and gloom I just told you owning a dog is fantastic and I hope you figure out a way to make it work for you. They don't call them mans best friend for nutin. Next step kids
