I have a Shiba Inu and a Samoyed. I also have a cat but she grew up with dogs. I am home full time work about 3 hours a day from my laptop and have plenty of time and space to offer your pup. My Shiba is very active and needs 3-4 walks a day so if this sounds like your dog they will get on great. She also has a big crate inside the apartment for dogs up to 100lbs, So if your pup requires any crate at night that is covered. I use to have 5 dogs growing up so have been around and caring for them my entire life but i love all animals equally and know exactly what kind of attention they require.
