I think two dogs would keep one another company and enjoy the rural area, these two need a home and if you have a loving one to offer them I think it's worth looking into.
Are you intending to have a means for these dogs to get in/out of the house through a doggie door or something during the day...as thats a LONG time to leave a dog w/o it going outside or having any companionship. Have you thought about that?
And just to clarify, whats the reason for wanting the dog?
