I have four dogs.
1) Molly, my 7 year/old apricot poodle. She is my first dog and the sweetest dog. When she was a puppy, she was crazy about other dogs, especially poodles. She would cry when she would finish playing with her doggie friends...I also wanted another poodle, so I began my search for another poodle, but...
2) I found my Chachi chihuahua. He's a rescue and was at a rescue organization that I was volunteering at. He was a little bigger than my Molly, but close in size and he looked calm. So I adopted him. When he came home he was a litle maniac, but he has calmed down considerably. He's six years old now... I still wanted another poodle. I wanted a brainy playmate for my Molly....
3) I found my Suzie (2 years old), little cream toy poodle puppy from a show breeder. Chachi thinks that she is his & Molly's daughter. He dotes on her and he loves her. I was not looking for another dog...
4) I found my Isabella, Izze--- I posted about this, but she found me...
Now I am looking for another dog for next year. I would like to adopt a poodle puppy to be close in age with Suzie...and I'd also like to get another yorkie rescue---I think that Izze would like this.
Other than for walks, 3 isn't more difficult that 2. Even walking it isn't bad...but I wouldn't do it because if a dangerous dog come running, it would be hard to scoop them up. It's not worth the risk.
Also, apartments won't usually accept more than 2 dogs... so if it is a possibility that you may have to rent, I wouldn't get the third. |
