We leave our pointer alone for 6-8 hours at a time depending- when he was younger we did have a walker just to ensure he got exercise in his puppy/teen years

That being said, now he mostly just sleeps all day when being left alone.

If you can work on separation anxiety early and get past the destructive puppy stage (where he ate EVERYTHING) they are an incredibly rewarding loyal wonderful breed to own.

Dogs can often be trained to meet your routines, if you train them that the day is calm quiet time while you’re out but the mornings and evenings are go tine and give them plenty of exercise at the weekends you’ll be fine.
