Hi, Jules.
I understand what your saying.
A little back ground: I have owned 4 dogs in the last 25 years. All were puppies. Three of them lived to be 13 years old and the other one had serious health issues and lived to be 8 years old. We have had a German Shepard, Lhasa Apso and 2 American Eskimos.
I understand and know the care and time that goes into a puppy. I am not getting into something I am unfamiliar with and play time will be plentiful but, over time the puppy will be taught to have manners, leash trained and socialized. A puppy will turn into an adult dog. If not trained that adult dog can be quite unpleasant and why some adult dogs end up at shelters.
