I'm a 26 year old male who works in an office from 9 am to 6 pm roughly. 3 times a week I get back home at 9:30 pm and I'm free from 9:30 pm till 8:30 am in the morning (but ofcourse I have to sleep some at night) and 4 days a week I return at 6:30 pm and am free from 6:30 pm till 8:30 am (ofcourse night sleep in between) so my concern is:
I live with my parents; healthy in their 50's and my sister in law with her 4 year old daughter and a maid.
I want to buy a big and strong dog; I reckon a German Shepherd or a Doberman. I'll be able to give my dog atleast an hour to maximum 2 hours at late evening or at night for walk and play (everyday). I'll give enough food too. I'm concerned if this be sufficent time on daily basis for such dogs. I really hope so it is manageable. I'm also concerned if other people in my house look after my dog when I'm in the office he might love someone else more than me which I can not accept. I want to be his favourite person. Is Doberman a one man dog or is German Shepherd a one man dog? What should I do? What should be my routine and how should I manage? and which dog should I buy for the time table and scenario I have. I really hope there is a way. Thank You!
