We have one large breed dog.
She's wonderful, smart and very well behaved and fits into our family brilliantly - I am aware we are quite lucky in some aspects such as there being no behavioral challenges and no destructiveness to tackle even from pup.
Obviously as any dog owners we need to account for vet fees, grooming, food and any potential costs such as dog sitting when we are away and so on.
Taking all the above into consideration would you take on another large breed?
They might not be guaranteed to be as placid and well behaved as our current golden child ...dog.
They are a similar breed and our dog is very well socialized so not concerned about them getting along.
The dog has been offered to DH who knows a very reputable breeder who has kept this pup (9mo) as his own but unfortunately due to recent health issues that will not be resolved anytime soon cannot look after it well enough as he already has two other senior dogs.
He knows we have a similar breed and would be really happy for it to go to us.
However I am not sure how to feel and what to expect having more than one dog.
WWYD? Does anyone have multiple dogs? How much different is it?
What do you do when you go away?
