Thanks for the reply,

the park would not be ideal for galloping as the council laws are fairly strict. That's kind of why I was thinking maybe a dog walking machine, however I'm not sure how good/bad they actually are. I don't have anything in my yard that I would be concerned about the pup destroying as it's pretty much empty. My family would be able to feed them the third time a day as they're only a 10 minute drive away. The neighbours I don't think will be a problem as a couple of them have dogs themselves. The backyard itself is well enclosed with 6 foot wooden fences.

A couple more questions I have would be how long from 3 months of age would the pup need to be fed more than twice daily?

Also what would be a good fitness option for the pup considering I would be able to walk the pup twice daily, provide a walking machine and would be happy to drive him on weekends somewhere for a gallop.

Thanks for the last post and for all the feedback
