We have one awesome boy and want another boy. Our breeder contacted us to let us know there is a litter due April/May. I have had my name down with her since Aug 2011. Hubby is now trying to convince me that just the one is enough. We have always had 2 or 3 dogs and I feel my boy would just benefit from having a brother around, as would I. He is very much part of our lives in all aspects but at times I think he would like someone of his own kind around. He gets to spend heaps of time with other dogs and just gets crazy excited, although he does prefer people.
Hubby wouldn't be upset at the prospect of 2 just that he thinks 1 is enough. Cost wise it does add up I know especially as I feed my boy only the best and if you include heart worm meds, flea prevention, desexing etc it can get costly. I think that is his main concern although it isn't going to put us in debt or anything.
Do you think it is more beneficial having two dogs or would my boy be forever happy being the only furry one in the family? We have no other pets and he will be 4years old in May.
I have soooooo longed for this second boy but now I am thinking that maybe hubby is correct. Hubby is leaving it up to me to decide and so I need to make a decision asap. :uhoh:
