I am a firm believer in 2. I have always had 2. When I lost my male this winter, I waited a couple months and then got Isabel a companion. She is 7 yrs and the pup is just 13 months, so it took her a while to adjust, but they play together now. Moses, the new puppy, clings to me so strong when I am home, I can't imagine how he would do alone. Having them together eases both their anxiety issues. Oh and my vet suggested a male puppy for Isabel; she is and always has been the dominant one |
