Raising up Puppy & working full time

Hi All. I'm considering getting a corgi puppy. However, I live in San Francisco in work full time. I leave the house around 7:00am and come home around 5:45ish. I work far from my house and do not have time during lunch to come home and let the dog out or play with it.

I do have a small yard and garage in which I could keep the puppy and the crate while I'm out for the day. Will it just be cruel to leave the dog alone for such long periods of time?

I don't mind getting up early in the morning to play with the puppy, take it for a walk/etc and will have time after work to do all this as well. I prefer not have a dog walker come to the house.

I kept the same the same schedule, and Yoda turned out alright. I think it depends partly on the puppy's personality. BTW, it is summer now, may be you can get a neighborhood kid to walk and play with the puppy for you! You may even not have to pay!
