Puppies need to be bonded with their owners and the more time they are left alone, the less will be learning and positive corrected; ending in unwanted young adults' dogs.

We strongly don’t suggest big dogs for apartments unless you are retired, work from home and have enough time to exercise and stay with your new family member.
