Have you given the full consideration into having a dog?
The time, energy, money, love, commitment required?
First of all, dogs aren't cheap, between food, accessories (collars, leads, beds etc) and vets bill (those include wormers, flea drops etc). If you choose a longer coated breed you may also have to pay for professional grooming. Then there's insurance, microchipping, actually buying the dog in the first place!
Have you looked at the local rescue centres? There are so many wonderful dogs desperate for a home, they've all been tested so they can find you one to fit your requirements.
You say it'd be with you most of the time, but what does that mean, would it be sat in a van? In an office? Do you have the time and knowledge to socialise and train this dog?
Have you had a dog before? Do you have other animals or children?
The essential questions just go on and on, basically, have you seriously considered this?
