I say, if you've boned up on your information on the breed, and you have a back up plan... go for it. I like the idea of the dog being over 2 yrs old, as you get through some of that bratty stage by that time (but not always), and the idea of a shelter dog/rescue is awesome!!! I have 3 pit bulls across the street from me that I went to feed tonight, and I would say all of them would rather be in a truck traveling with you, than chained on 5 ft chains and no human interaction. Not one of them barked at me, and they covered me in kisses..... I think they were just so happy that someone was petting them. They actually liked that more than the food I was taking them. Anyway, back to the subject at hand, I think it's a great idea. They will be great company for you, and really, all they care about is spending time with you, regardless of if that means in the house, or in a truck.
