[Buster Brown]

I do not think there is any wrong time frame to getting a new puppy. You would not be dishonoring Charlie if you got a new puppy but adding a new being to love and be loved by. As long a you realize they new puppy may not have the same temperament as Charlie so you will not be disappointed and perhaps feel less attached to the new puppy then I say start looking for breeder now. I truly believe God will let you know when it is the right time/right puppy. When you describe playing with Charlie he reminds me of Buster. I understand what you meant about not wanting the other dog to live. That was based on anger, sadness, and the pain over the loss of Charlie and no one could fault you for those feelings. I hope you find a wonderful puppy to fill the void left by the passing of Charlie. Charlies' love for you was unconditional and he would understand.
