So my questions are...

Should I get a dog since I'm at work all day?

And, if so, what's breed would you recommend? I am a novice trainer but other than work have heaps of time to spend with it.

i spoke to the lady who runs SAR in tauranga and she said that if you dogs trained for deer dont bother with SAR work. basicly one or the other
