Not sure how we would hold up having 2 pups in the house at one time.
That's what went thru my mind when I read this.....Mo was well trained by the time we brought Bam into our home...and that was the biggest sanity saver for us. Mo was two years old when we got Bam....Bam was almost a year old when we brought him home......so we were well past puppy stage with both guys.
This is our first time having two at the same time ( both neutered males) and the only regret I have is I wish I were younger so I could keep up with them better...LOL.
It's kinda "it's not work if you love what you are doing"...for us.
For us.....having two isn't always "lot more work" but it does keep us hopping.
They are trained to "team work" together pretty well with feeding time, loading to go out, walking on leads with one person, bed time and so on.
What does take more time is working with them...since I have to double up on the time.....they train together and separate....they each get an "alone time walk" during the day. I went from spending a couple of hours a day on all this for one.....to five hours or so for two....... when you add in time for getting them swapped out..one in and the other out. Then you have the added costs.....this breed ain't cheap to keep.....and double that up...and it can turn into a bit of a load P.D.Q.
Then theres a whole new kind of insanity...when they can't get outside due to weather. Right now...the only time we are getting out is --watching the weather radar----timed potty runs...cuz there's a nasty bit of stormy weather coming at us...all day yesterday...today and into tomorrow....so I got double dogs going dingbats from cabin fever...
Soooooooooooooooo they have doubled MY
