I've always been the type to just want ONE furbaby at a time so when we moved to the country and my husband wanted another, we had to compromise. I have a big issue with shedding dogs - both my sister and sister-in-law have big shedding dogs in the house and I can't stand it. My husband wanted an Australian Shepherd. Being that we are in the country and wanted a "watch dog", Stormie (the AS) is now our official "outside dog" and Tatum (the Yorkie) is the "inside dog". We actually are both happy with the situation - Tatum gets to play and run to her hearts content with Stormie outside and then come in and be a cuddle baby with me inside. Stormie gets lots of attention too as the kids and my hubby are outside all the time. So, yes, two dogs (or more) are great if you can handle it but for me personally, one inside and one outside is the best of both worlds!
