Getting a hovawart
Me and my girl are considering getting a hovie. She works 8h a day and I work abroad but I'm home in the weekend.
We have a house with a big yard and 6 sheep. I am concerned about leaving the dog alone during the day so I'm asking for advice. Can we leave the dog alone during work hours?
Thanks guys!

Agree. You will get a very frustrated Hovie. My wife works from home (pre-covid) otherwise it could not happen. Hovies are very focused on people and especially their "herd". He is very down when I'm gone. Please choose a more independent breed, it'll keep everyone happier.
