I just bought my first house and just got everything moved in, it needs some repairs. I have always wanted a dog growing up and have lived with a roommate who had a German Shepherd. I found the perfect puppy, who is 10 weeks old. I would really love to bring him home soon but i'm worried about leaving him home alone too much as I work 7am-7pm nine days out of the month ( I work 3-4 days a week) and the other days I work a mix of 7am to 1pm or 4pm. My girlfriend can be there sometimes but she doesn't currently live with me and she works as well four days a week until 8am-5pm. Along with work, I will need to do some work fixing up the house a bit inside. I really don't want to pass him up, so has anyone raised a puppy while working full time and have any advice if I do decide to get him?
Thoughts are appreciated but no hate please.
Edit: Finances isn't an issue.
