Hey everyone. I have been a lurker on this board for a few months. I have been on the search for a Newfoundland puppy and found one I love, however, my job situation has changed and I am now going to be living in an apartment. It is dog friendly, and they would let me have the pup. There is a park near by to exercise the dog and a large yard, although unfenced, behind my apartment (its actually a town house, so i'm not in a building but its 1100 sq ft). I also live in SD/MN so there are SO many lakes we visit often. Anyway, I'm dedicated to making sure the dog gets out A LOT for exercise (winter might be a tad less due to freezing weather) but, can a Newfoundland live in an apartment? I will only be there for 1.5 years, and on weekends do go to my parents home which is very large and has a nice big fenced in backyard. The pupyy will also only be alone for 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon 3 days a week. Any thoughts? I had it all planned, have fallen in love with the pupppy, and then this happened!
Thank you!
