Getting discouraged about getting a Boston...opinions?

Hello everyone! This site has been a great resource about Boston's for my wife and I. Thank you! I'll try to make this short! We are moving to a new home in a few months, and we have wanted a dog for a long time, but always had apartments. After reading many posts on this website, I'm worried that a Boston may not be a dog to get. We have researched so many dogs and came up with the Boston, so its discouraging. We also want to rescue one, so they will be at least a year and a half old. We both work, so the dog will be at home alone for 8 to 9 hours except on the weekends. We will be able to have someone come to the house during the day to help them adjust, but not forever. We could either crate them or they will also have access to a doggie door at other times. we would also like to be able to have them sleep in our room on a dog bed or in a crate, but not on the bed. It seems like this is tough to get a Boston to do? Would they be able to adapt to the work day schedule? Any input would be great. Thanks again.
