I struggled with this months ago and basically posted the same question. I will say that in my situation, two was too much. I struggled to housebreak both of them. My breeder had said to wait a year or more before getting the second and I quickly found out why. Plus, I wanted to do certain training things with my first one and it was just taking so much time that it was really hard. My first one got bigger then expected so I couldn't just throw two dogs in a bag and go. Now, I can throw him in the car or sneak into a place to get something. It is SO much easier traveling with one. I can tell you that. But my kind of travel isn't vacations. Mine is for work mostly and in and out and about. Hard to explain. My family wouldn't not puppy sit two dogs. At work, I feel that I can't ask for my clients parents (I teach skating and have parents who LOVE dogs) watch two dogs if I bring them to work. When I bring Sparks, I put him in his roll away and either prop him up by the boards with a bullystick or the parents take him because they love him. I ended up giving the other one back to the breeder. He went after my two year old neice unprovoked and did some other things that I just didn't like and it was taking so much to train them out of him and my first one's training was getting neglected. The second one had some really personality problems. Now I am still training the one I have because we want to do agility so I'm going to wait probably another year before even thinking about getting the second. suz | |

| I love having two. they are so much fun to watch and I don't feel so bad leaving them home alone. Every eveing when I'm fixing supper, they get into a game of hide and seek around the Island in my kitchen. than after supper in the living room, it's a game of tag. The rest of the day they wrestle and then sleep and then wrestle and then sleep. There is no need to worry about exercising them. |
