If you train them right, having multiples isn't bad besides the vet bills and food.
When we go for a walk, I usually take 4 or 5 at the same time by using couplers. I walk them individually when they are first starting to learn how to walk on a leash teaching them the rules and how to walk nicely. Then I will add another dog to go with them. Once they know the rules and can go on a nice walk then the couplers are used. It's great once they've learned because they pay attention to your cues and work together with the other dogs so they are all at even pace and not going all over the place.
When traveling I usually take 4 with me and have a pet sitter stay at home with the others. They all get along great and love traveling. I always alternate so that everyone is getting an equal amount of attention and love.
Multiples really aren't bad so as long as you put in the time and effort into their training. Once that is done, the rest is a piece of cake (as I sit here typing and watching a movie with 5 dogs asleep on my lap, lol). |
Oh you sound just like me!! I love my dogs.. They come everywhere with me lol I'm so sad because I had to call the breeder back and return him. He had 2 types of hernias an inguinal and umbilical hernia. Wasn't too noticeable to the naked eye but my neighbor came over to take a look at him and told me the surgeries could cost hundreds. She also noticed a problem in the hind legs when he ran.. My husband took him back, I felt so guilty but the breeder said her daughter would keep him. I was going to take him to the Vet Thursday (which was the earliest appointment) but I knew no matter what they told me by then, he would be ours. Very sad but I have lots things going on and I cant take anymore stress. He was adorable the cutest little thing. I decided to wait.
