I've been wanting a dog for the past 5 years, but the first 4, I was in college and knew it wasn't practical. Now I feel like I can finally have time for it! I'm a teacher so I have 3 months off coming up and I think its the perfect time to get a dog so I'll have that time to spend on house breaking before I return to longer hours.
I'm wondering on breeds though. Growing up, I had a dachsund and then a golden retriever. I loved both dogs! Now I live in an apartment and I pretty long hours (at least 10 hours a day) so I'm thinking a small dog that doesn't need a whole lot of exercise and is easy to housebreak and train.
So far, I'm thinking about dachsunds, pugs, and bichons. Any other suggestions from people who have pets in apartments? Also anyone who has those breeds, do you think they'd do well given my situation?
