Getting a third dog
I’m asking here because most people in this sub have a similar lifestyle with their dogs to mine. I’m seriously considering getting a third dog. We’ve been offered what feels like the ideal puppy, which makes the decision even harder. I’m feeling really torn about it. On one hand, this would give me the opportunity to try some different sports that my current dogs aren’t suited for, like agility and conformation. On the other hand puppies are freaking hard! I’m willing to put in the work, but my current dogs are still pretty active, not just in sports, but in everyday life. I’m also wondering how people with more than two dogs manage their time. Do you feel like each dog still gets enough individual attention? Has anyone here with more than two dogs regretted adding another? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.
