Well been debating it for quite a while...Haven't had a dog for about 4 years and kind of miss it. Anyone have a boxer and can tell me pros and cons? I've read they require a lot of attention from their owner and with my current schedule:
Monday: Class 11-2/3:30-5
Wednesday: Class 11-2/3:30-5/ Work 5:05-Midnight
Thursday: Work 4-Midnight
Friday: Class 8-12 Work 4-1am

Any days not listed are my free days. Worried that days like Wed-Friday, if I can't find someone to be able to let him out/feed him that it could result in problems. Also, are shots and vaccinations and such, very necessary? With all my previous dogs they lived very long healthy lives without ever getting shots and what not. Just don't want to risk having health problems :S

Can anyone give me some much needed info I should need to know before going further?!

Also, think of some good dog names XD Want something unusual and interesting..I had one in mind that I really liked but I forgot it and will forever curse myself for forgetting because I loved it..
