Would a dog suffer at a studio and away from other family members?

Question

I recently moved north and left my dog behind, now that I fould a nice studio I am thinking of having her shipped (she is a toy poodle, one year old in 3 days ;-). But I don't know how she'll take to the cold (my old home was summer year round). How she'll take to a studio (500 sq. ft.), and away from my mother and brothers (she was always closest to me by far though).
I want her with me, but I don't want to make her unhappy just to please me.

Answer 1

If you move her during the summer months where you are, she will adjust to the weather change. She'll more than likely be very happy to be with you again. The only thing I can think of that may not be good if you're planning on leaving her alone for long periods of time. If that's the case she may be better at your family's home. Hope it all works out. All the best;^)

Answer 2

Sorry to have to tell you this, but you might have to leave the dog at "home."

Does your lease allow pets? If not, bringing your dog back could cause you to be kicked out on the street.

If you moved three months ago, and the dog is almost a year old, you may not be her primary fixation anymore. Go for a visit. If she seems to fixate on you, and not want to leave your side, you can safely take her with you. Also, you may want to consider finding a friend for her, even if it is a toy. Leaving the TV and/or radio on will help. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with abandonment issues.

Answer 3

She'll do fine as long as she gets plenty of attention and exercise from you. The climate should not be an issue - just have a longer clip on her in the winter or get her some doggie clothes.

Answer 4

Well I think she will be fine. She is small and won't need much space, just make sure you walk her. She will have you for company so that should be ok and heating and her coat should keep her warm! Good Luck!

Answer 5

She'll adapt to anything just to be with you. Besides, her fur will keep her warm.
