Nia, you have the right idea. Now to win the lotto.

Aw, I don't know. I would probably sell you a puppy, Travel Time. You are obviously committed to doing the right thing, or you wouldn't be asking these questions. While I will always be a psycho about who my puppies go to, I would rather have them with someone who works a lot and will make sure to make up for it than someone who sits on their fat ass all day and lets the dog get fat right there next to them. So many people who seem "ideal" end up having kids and getting rid of the dog, moving, etc. We've all heard the lame excuses. A person whose heart is truly in the right place and who really cares about the dog longterm, IMO, is a better bet than someone who has a better circumstance NOW, but that could all change. Where there's a will, there's a way, and I know from personal experience, that it can be done.

So you would not sell a pup to me because they live out doors 24/7 and i do not believ e in keeping them like children
You read posts only the way you want to read them you are missing the plot completly
All my dogs for 57 plus years have lived outside, Never any health problems, only old age beat them no Vets bills never took one down to be treated for an illness, So i do know what i am talking about with dogs living out doors in a Run and Pen Read my above post on what i said about socalising
Just because this person who is asking for advise cannot be at home all day .
and i do not think the dogs want humans round them all day and every day certainly if they could talk they would tell you they would be far better off in the fresh air than in a warm house that is designed for human comfort only
But to get to the nitty gritty, this person posting, the dog would be far happier outside in a kennel and run so it can do its business in comfort meaning peeing and pooing in its run and better than in a house without any contact for the whole day
Outside it can see different things and sounds indoors on its own it is a prisoner, until the owner comes home
No my friend with your attitude and the way you think i for one would never sell you a Dog that is for sure Look at the photo below, this Pup lived outdoors in her short life and she was a happy Pup

She lived outside for the eight weeks i owned her a more happy pup you would not get and she was perfectly socalised and given all the attention she needed, but still had the space to be a Canine not a human Child

But a puppy raised alone for 12 hours a day will suffer terribly. Company -- another breed, perhaps, as Trafalgar creatively suggests -- is essential for any dog left alone so long. A place to relieve himself is also essential.
Some people can afford their dogs much more care and stimulation than can others -- no reason to feel guilty if you cannot give your dog the perfect life.
Unfortunately, some people take this too far and try to suggest that because a dog cannot have luxury, he is fine with neglect. This is a social species and isolation is the cruelest punishment. Get a bobcat if you want a creature who thrives on being alone. If your dog has doggy company for 12 hours a day -- and you can give it all of your attention for an hour or so a day -- it will be okay, IMO.
