Alaska Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Partly it depends on whether it's more important to you to enjoy watching two dogs who are bonded to each other, or whether you want a strong bond of your own with each dog. Personally, I want to build that bond between me and each dog, so I wouldn't add another until the bond with the first dog is pretty solid. If the first dog is a puppy, that can take quite a while. I concur with others that having two dogs is a good idea if you can manage it, but I also agree with those who suggested that the ideal order to build your family is is adult dog first, then add puppy (or another adult).

Freeman 101 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I prefer two, however, never two puppies at the same time. My two oldest dogs are 1 year apart; they are 11 and 12. My youngest will be 4 in March. BTW, two was much easier than 3, so when the two older dogs are gone I will get another pup, but I'll never have 3 again.
