Hi all,
well theres been a debate on a different forum about if a 8weeks old pup and 1 yr old,
being left home for 12hrs a day with nobody going in during that time to check all well,i personally think it bloody bad,leaving such a young dogs are infact leaving any dog 12hrs atime,also what about feeding they will be feeding the pup raw as they do there other dog,twice a day is this normal for raw feeding????
as ive always been told to feed young pups 4 times a day as they do better with smaller meals,this person is in the usa if that makes any difference,and this on this other site have become very personal,
thanks for listening im just very mad

I think that with the amount of dogs in shelters and being pts in the US a dog that is being left at home alone for 12 hours with another dog is actually not so bad. Better that than the alternative IMO.

i see where your coming from but 12 hrs to me is far to long

One aspect that would concern me is that the pup would be likely to bond with the other dog far more than with his owners, and not really become socialised with people, which could lead to problems in the future.

twevle hrs in my opinion is far to long
its unfair on the animal.
i worry about mine after being out for two hrs!

A pup being left alone for 12 hours is not fair - how will it be housetrained, will it be punished for chewing, messing etc? Wny even get a dog if the owner is to be out 12 hours a day? Selfish if you ask me.
