Dogs that can handle some alone time?

Our lab can do 8+ hours easy as long as she gets her exercise every so often.

Not sure if someone mentioned this above, but if time alone is an issue from day one you don't want a puppy!

Another perspective, considering you are a plugaholic;

Figure after year one, your pedrigree dog would be roughly 30-50 RM Smiths... You ready fer dat????

Yeah....Starting to come to terms with that disease. My apologies to the site sponsors.

Adopt a greyhound !
We have two. They are both 4 1/2 yrs. old. Advantage is they are already crate trained having spent most of their lives in one. After the initial "get comfortable" period they can be left out. We do have someone come in midday to let them out for exercise. They are gentle dogs with good dispositions and they are NOT hyper. In fact they are referred to as "40 MPH couch potatoes".
