When considering adding a new fur baby to your family, you no doubt will want to consider the time commitment your new puppy will take. The last thing you want is a depressed or anxious dog that is not getting the attention and exercise it needs. Certain breeds are very easy going and independent, while other breeds need plenty of exercise, company, and mental stimulation. It’s impossible to know the exact personality your dog will have, but it’s wise to consider a dog breed that typically would adapt well to your work schedule.
There are breeds that suit every job, whether you have a very busy schedule, you work from home, or you have a flexible work schedule. Here are ten of the top dog breeds that fit these varying schedules.
Don’t be intimidated by their size, as the Bullmastiff makes a great dog for someone with a busy work schedule.
