Just remember they can easily live 14 years or more and you have to decide can you handle 3 dogs and children down the road (if you decide to have children). It is also much harder to find places to live with 3 dogs than 2 dogs. Your decision has to be made for a lifetime of the dogs. Money is an issue for everyone if the dog becomes very ill and you have to spend thousands of dollars. Personally I think you have a lifetime ahead of you and you can have a female down the road but you already have 2 and your bf is going to have one so you already will have 3. One other thought - if all 3 dogs are about the same age as they grow older the vet bills will grow all at the same time then there is the sad fact all 3 would start passing over to the rainbow bridge at the same time. As an responsible adult you really have to think about these things and where you will be for the next number of years. There are many things all of us want but this is a living, breathing little creature and you have to think about them first.

Food for thought.
