"IMO the breed of a dog has nothing to do with it's tolerance to be alone for long periods of time."
YEs it does some breeds are MUCH more indepdant then others like a doberman for example is EXTREMLY Needy and is usually very distructive when left alone same with the german shepherds.
Whatever you do if you do get a purebred do NOT get it from working lines! Many people make that mistake and end up with a dog that is WAY TO much for them to handle.
PErsonal experience is that with mutts/mixs its much easier to find a laid back dog that would fit ur lifestyle. SPecially big mutt mixes & the shelter has lots of dogs and know each of ther personalities get a dog with a calm nature one that you can leave home alone. If i left my old german shepherd home alone in about half an hour my whole house would of been ripped to shreds sofa torn to pieces! he was working line though. My friends dobie is the same way.
IF i left
