Is it very dificult to take care of a dog?
No, provided you have the right set-up, it’s not difficult, but it is a commitment, for the entire life of the dog. And in my opinion, having a Lab.puppy/adult in an apartment isn’t necessarily going to be ‘the right set-up’. Depends on the apartment of course – if it’s on the ground floor with a garden it’s probably going to be fine – if 10 floor up with only a balcony, it’s not. If you have time to get your puppy out (when he’s grown up) for lots of exercise and don’t expect to leave him shut in your apartment (to bother the adjoining neighbours) it will probably be fine too. Just know that if you came to me for a Lab puppy, you wouldn’t get one, particularly if you are working full time, and likely to leave him alone during a full working week. Labs can very easily become bored, and then destructive and noisy.
There are 5 freedoms to owning a dog – 1 Freedom from hunger and thirst – by providing fresh water and the right type and amount of food to keep them fit. 2 Freedom from discomfort – by making sure that animals have the right type of environment including shelter and somewhere comfortable to rest. 3 Freedom from pain, injury and disease – by preventing them from getting ill or injured and by making sure animals are diagnosed and treated rapidly if they do. 4 Freedom to behave normally – by making sure animals have enough space, proper facilities and the company of other animals of their own kind. 5 Freedom from fear and distress – by making sure their conditions and treatment avoid mental suffering. Labradors need at least 2 hours exercises a day. Labs are very bi gs dogs and aren’t really suitable for being kept in apartments. If you can give the dog the correct amount of exercise and TIME then it should be a healthy happy dog. Dogs shouldn’t be left alone for more than 3 hours straig
