  1. I breed Portuguese Water Dogs. My initial application asks “How long would you be leaving your puppy alone?” If the answer suggests that the dog is going to be by itself for more than 4 hours a day, I tell them they don’t need a puppy. Perhaps a cat. But not a dog. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right families, but taking time to screen potential owners saves heartache down the road. (both for me, the owners, and the dog!)
