I need to know upfront how well trained they are and any tendencies they have. If they chew things or use the house as a bathroom, I can't take them without a kennel. I also need an honest say on how much they shed, we have carpet and furniture that I am not thrilled to vacuum.

Here's where we'll take our walks I live on a quiet side street with several paths surrounded my grass and a tiny Park or we'll trek five minutes to the dog park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Depends on the dog: shedding and behavior. If there's no problem they are free to sleep wherever; couch, bed, floor. If they shed too much or have uncomfortable behaviors they will need a kennel. Time I'll spend with your dog I will spend it's entire time with it minus bathroom breaks or stepping out to the store: which I have a tendency to take my dog with.
