I'm looking for a new dog. I need a puppy that won't mind spending some time alone at home with my two other dogs while I'm away at school. I will have time to brush it and play with it at home but I would like it to be able to potty-train easily. I'm also wanting her to be cute(of course!). Well if anyone has answers I really appreciate it!
Thanks a lot,
SurferGrl

I would suggest and of the POO varieties... cockapoo..shizapoo... they are cross breeds... but are smaller dogs, that do not shed. Very smart. And I have an american bulldog with whom they are both very fond of each other.. its actually better that you already have dogs....
1. Company for the puppy when away.
2. Older dogs can teach younger ones... going potty .. rules of the house.... ( but also may get your older dogs doing puppy things like chewing things)
3... I would also suggest a BOY... alot more easy going then female dogs, who usually have attidudes and take more effort to get on thier side... boys I find go alog with just about anything...

A puppy is not a car...they are all high maintenance. There is no such thing as a "low maintenance" puppy. If you don't have the time to put into proper care and training, then nix the puppy idea. Besides, you have two dogs already...why a third?

You dont need a puppy if you have no time to house train or cant spend quality time with the puppy and your other dogs. Perhaps you should get a cat or a snake.

there is no such thing as a low maintenance dog.. especially NOT a puppy!!!
if you cannot be home to house train and socialize a puppy you should not get one.. no dog is easy - they all require time and consistancy
get an adult or get no dog at all

You might think your other dogs are lonely, but they are not! Really, they will play together during the day while you are at school, but believe me they can not wait for you to get home and shower them with tons of affection. Have fun with the pets you have now and wait a bit until you have more time for a third. Good luck in school.

If you already have two and obviously don't have time for a third, why get one? Why not wait until you're out of school?
Especially leaving three dogs alone together, you never know what will happen....especially if two were already there and the third was added to the picture later.

Puppies are, by definition, high-maintenance. Get an older dog.

I don't believe there is such an animal as a low maintenance dog. They are all a lot of work and responsibility.

You want low maintenance? Get a cat
