I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

Agree with this.

We had a terrier chihuahua cross from when he was a puppy til he was about 4 (tragic story, dog walker let him off lead despite us asking not to, got spooked, tried to run home, hit by car), and although we absolutely loved him and were devastated at losing him, he really was the boss of the house.

After some time we rescued a 5yo grey from Battersea and it feels like she has adapted her life to suit ours, and not the other way round. She has been for the most part the easiest loveliest dog. I would say that owners should expect to do some work with them, and no matter how much recall work you do, it will always be undone by a squirrel/fox/cat. Insurance is also essential with a grey. In the 3.5 years we've had ours she's had thousands spent on having a corn removed from her hind paw, and more recently induced vomiting due to eating what we thought was a conker.

Aside from this she gets three 20 minute walks a day, and pretty much sleeps the rest of the time. She came to us toilet trained which made life so easy (having once trained a puppy). We let her run maybe once or twice a week but she's definitely slowing down.

We thought she didn't care much for us at the beginning but she's become super affectionate and needy (in a not overbearing way).

We had her with bellyrubclub in Camberwell a few days a week (highly recommended if you're in the area), but I'm now fully home based so get to hang out with her all day!
