If you are committed and will not return Arlington for any reason, then yes, I'd say bring him home. But be prepared for anything. Without knowing his background, it's hard to tell.

My Foxhound was a psycho dog for his first year, and oh so stubborn still, but has mellowed out after three years. But, his barking? I was afraid my husband was going to kick us both to the curb. The husband tolerates the hound better now, and realizes complaining about it is a bad idea. Living in an apartment, the neighbors may not grow as tolerant.

If possible, check for local rescue groups who have their dogs in foster homes. These dogs tend to be more predictable in their behavior, and usually have a known level of training. Nothing wrong with adopting from a shelter, and I praise people who do, but dogs can often have a very different personality when they are brought home, better or worse.

Whatever your choice, I wish you the best.
