Puppies can be hard work. My dog is more than happy home boarding with the right person but would hate kennels and as such I have never sent him there.
I used to travel the world, but tend to do 1-2 one week cruises now I have him, and several weekends, both UK and Europe.

Then I take him places, he loves a holiday, he’s gone all over the place with me. Round the NC500 was a highlight. Maybe because I don’t have kids though he is a bit of a child, I miss him terribly so 8 days is the longest he has been at the dog sitter.

I’d get your holidays out of the way, and look at a pup the spring after as toilet training is so much easier in spring.

What sort of dog are you thinking of getting?
We've had a few dogs previous, so agreed toilet training can be... Interesting!
We are the same no kids, and 2 hols next year is a one off!
