maltease x shih tzu help?

i got to school and am away about 5-6 hours a day so im not sure it would be great for me to have this dog but on weekends i do nothing so im free then but i often go out for dinner on weekend and go out for lunch on weekends…….will the puppy get used to it??? or will i just need to buy him lots of toys???

That will be hard on a dog, and especially hard on a puppy. Puppies need to go out every few hours to pee, and require socialization, exercise and training. If you can't give the puppy consistent house-breaking, it may never learn properly. I would say it's best to wait until you have more free time or can share the responsibility of a puppy with someone else. Bored dogs get destructive and bark excessively. Toys can't fix that.

    If you can't spend the necessary time and effort into the puppy, let someone you can take them.

    DON'T GET A PUPPY. GET AN ADULT DOG WHO IS USED TO BEING ALONE, IS HOUSEBROKEN, ETC… HONESTLY THOUGH, I THINK IT WOULD BE SELFISH TO GET A DOG AT THIS TIME WITH YOUR SCHEDULE AS IT IS.

    or will i just need to buy him lots of toys???,,, well if u leave him/her that long , you probably already have the main toy purchases already made and don't even realize it….

    you have a couch? chairs with nice soft covers? maybe even your sliders on the back screen door.. and most assuredly, the mattress and linens, especially a comforter that's puffy and soft and is dry clean only…

    oh yeah, no need to invest in that plastic dog toy stuff and all..

    seriously, good luck, but this is not an ideal arrangement for either of you.
