A bit more about my lifestyle:
I go out at about 8am for school and I get back about 3:30pm. This is an hour and a half before my mum so therefore it will be ME taking it for a walk. My mum works 2-3 days a week so the rest of the week she will be able to let it out into the garden during the day. Sometimes it may even be one time a week for 8 hours as on Tuesdays I get home at 2pm. I do have a back garden which is quite large. My mum has not said yes or no yet so I am not being a whiny brat, she just wants a few things cleared up before she thinks of getting one. It will get walked in the morning for half an hour no matter what the weather and I have pretty much all night for an afternoon walk.
I'm wanting to get a rescue dog from our local shelter so I'm aware that it will most likely be a mongrel but it will probably have the characteristics of the parent breeds.
If there is a big dog breed that you can think of that is generally well-tempered and non-destructive then please could you post that too :3
Dogs that are okay with being left alone 1-3 times a week for up to 8 hours?

I have 2 dogs (Siberian Husky and mini Jack Russell) and a cat. Everyone in my house are working. So they basically are all alone at the daytime, and they are fine with that. In the morning my sister and dad brings them out for 30 minutes walk, at the evening I do that for an hour and a half. At the week ends we bring them to the sea beach or big parks for long walks.The thing is, if pets will be lonely when you are not home, they gonna "entertained" themselfs like eating shoes\destroying furniture etc. Pets should have a lots of toys, good if you can get them new toys once in 2-3 weeks. My jack russell loves everything that makes sounds, Husky loves football balls. And they should have they own place\bed. And while they are puppes, you'll have to spend lots of time looking after them, because they don't know what's good and what's bad. I suggest you, to get a dog when you'll have long holidays, probably during summer. Otherwise, you will loose a few pairs of shoes))) Good luck!
