But, with two, would I have the flexibility of taking two with me everywhere? That's what's stopping me from researching a breeder in my area. I'm not sure I'M ready for two. I do however take Kaji to many playdates with friends we've made on YT. He really enjoys that. |
I waited 5 yrs before I got a second dog. Like you I took lexie everywhere with me. But felt so bad when I'd have no choice but to leave her home alone.
I wish I would have gotten a second dog years sooner. Do I take her and and Madison less places. Yes that is true. But when I leave them home at least they have each other.
I say get a second dog if its in your heart to do it.
I think that getting a second dog when the first dog is a year old allows them to be puppies together and to bond together. It will be a beautiful thing. I hope that the person that has the 2 week old pup doesn't release it til 12 weeks. I know many get their dog at 8 weeks but it really is better IMO for these little dogs to have those few extra weeks with momma.
