Hi there,
We live in DB and are considering getting a Miniature Dachshund... At this stage we're just weighing up the pro's and con's..
We love dogs and want to make sure we're making the right decision, considering we live in a flat, and go away every few months for a few days each time.
We'd like to hear from other dog owners, things like:
- How does your dog feel being left home alone while you go to work, shop etc? Do you leave the aircon on all the time to keep her comfortable? What if she needs to poop while you're out? How long would you leave her alone for during the day?
- When we go away, we'd leave the dog at a boarding place like DB Dog Dayz, but what if its a little dog and gets picked on by bigger dogs?
- Is it expensive caring for a dog here i.e. food, vet etc?
Obviously its do-able considering so many people have dogs in HK, we just want to weigh up whether we can do it too.
Thanks in advance for any advice or exeriences you can share...
Cheers, Lali
PS If anyone knows of where we could get a Miniature Dachshund (Miniature because we live in a flat) please let me know. We've looked at the rescue centres no luck, just bigger dogs... We don't mind if its a puppy or older dog...
