I'll have my first dog in few days.
Is it that difficult to maintain a pup for first year of is life as people say? Sadly I'm working so won't be able to look after her that much.
My god don't get a dog or especially a puppy if you don't have time for it. Why would you even want to? That's stupid.

My girl would look after her so she wont be alone.

Okay well that's not so bad then. Is it going to be a shiba inu? Because if so I hope you're prepared, they're very difficult and aloof dogs. They're not like what you're used to.
Otherwise yeah, it can be tough to raise a puppy and there will be tough times but if you are consistent and train it then it won't be too bad. I hope your girlfriend can be counted on to train it too. But having a dog is a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's a female shiba puppy. I don't want to neuter her btw and look after my dog when she comes in heat rather than rip and cut he ovaries.
>They're not like what you're used to.
Well I've never had any dogs before. Also no cats.

More like snip her ovaries and save her various health complications and increase her overall health and longevity. So do it.

Holy fuck I hope this is b8. So many mistakes, you have no fucking clue what you are doing.
Enjoy your Shiba first wrecking your house and then later biting you every chance she gets.
Agreeing with what the others said.
Are you serious?!
You obviously have not prepared at all.
Did you do ANY kind of reading up on how to train a dog? Seriously, Shibas are beautiful but hard to raise, especially if you have no idea (which is obvious) what you're doing.
Shibas are shit heads.
If you want a dog to hide under blankets on your couch for it's entire life and not be social.
You've found the perfect dog.
