I do have to say I'm at my limit with three (especially with the special needs here) but I wonder about people who have in excess of 5 dogs what their intention is-expressiveness-more power to you if you can create a loving healthy home for so many furbabies
HOWEVER, how can one provide enough individual one on one attention when you have several many dogs? Every dog needs a buddy I think it's kind of sad for dogs who are the only dog is a family, but is it not sad for dogs being one of a large pack too? I'd like to hear from people who have many dogs-how do you handle training, attention etc with so many, and honestly are they all having their needs fully met? I"m not bashing genuinely curious...I'd love to have 15-20 dogs but in reality I'm at my realistic limit at three...although if my significant other would go for it maybe four  ) |
My bf and I were just discussing this last night!! He was saying that if we have more than two, it's hard to give them all their needs. However, I'm still getting a puppy when I graduate...I can't wait...since it's 2 years from now. I'd also like to hear other YT members' experience with over 3 dogs.
Bravo to you all!!
Too bad I'm super allergic to cats, otherwise, uh-oh!!
Unfortunately, I live with my bf so I can't get more dogs than he approves.
I think when I get the 3rd one, it will probably be the max. I might slowly push it to 4?
Then, people won't think I'm crazy, they will think I'm a lunatic!!
