So I am moving out of my crummy apartment into a duplex with a large yard. There are breed and size restrictions, but nothing that would prevent me from getting a hunting dog. With that said, I am concerned about having enough time to properly train and care for a high intensity sporting breed. Luckily, my new place is literally 1.1 miles from my office, and I have a full hour at lunch I am happy to spend exercising a dog. Still, I do work 40hr/wk and I dont want to be someone that locks their dog up like a prisoner all day every day.
Anyone here successfully train and care for a hunting dog while single and working full time? Any breed recommendations? My goal is something versatile I can put on small game and birds, but honestly a dog that is happy to beat brush in Pisgah would be cool even if it scares off anything in its path!
Is it feasible or would I be setting myself and a dog up for a nightmare? I have no intention of getting a dog until Fall at the earliest, I just don’t want to start deeply researching until I know if this can be done responsibly.
