Can i get a dog.?

Greetings. my name is andrew from Norway,and i was wondering if i can get a dog?

i have allways loved animals, and i usualy take care of my sisters 2 little dogs from time to time,and for some reason i can walk them around the neighbourhood without leach on any of em. ( my sister and any other family members need to keep em on a leach or they run around and sometimes to far) but they eventualy come back

i might spoil em abit more with like walkking em 3 times a day, unlike my sister that keeps em in the yard.but im not putting myself in a, im a pack leader state, more like a caring fella and it seems to work.numerous times they have "busted out " of the yard and run to my house. 3 houses up and like scratching at the door. i let em in, keep my door open and they dont run of( then tend to lay on my lap chilling and dont seem restless to go for a walk or so ) might have to do with the 3 kids my sister have 6 13 16 years old, so might be just to get a break and chill out.

me myself i would like a retriver pref a fleachcoat one ( i think its called ) kinda like alabradoor but with more silky phur.

problem is i dont see myself inwolved with a lady atm or in the near future, and im working,

i take the buss 10 20 and im back at round 17 30 mon to friday. ( i can get up at 8 walk the dog for 1h or so ( good for me to sinse i got like 30 pounds to mouch )

so would that be ok ? walk the dog for and hour or so, then go to work and be away for bout 8 hours, then a new walk, and after that chilling inside on the couch, or does it take 2 people?i have a smal lawn outside bout 5-8 meeters but i cant keep the door open to my apartment when im a way?


sry bout the typoes and the long post btw

A Flatcoat retriever probably needs more exercise than what you can offer at the moment, but you certainly have a lifestyle that would suit a medium-energy breed.
I also second skelaki in suggesting an older puppy or adult dog.

Best of luck with your search for a companion and keep us updated.
