Anyone here have three dogs? I have two (one husky mix mutt and a boston terrier) and I'm considering this dog:

Do you walk the two you already have? If so, then why not? I mean as long as you can afford the food and vet bills.

I have three dogs and, yes, you are completely out of your mind.

Our dogs are 9 yrs./60 lbs.; 7 yrs./30 lbs.; 1 yr. 50 lbs.
Here's the problem with three dogs—you have to be really tight with obedience. Everyone has to have a place. Feeding, going out... there's a set order to how everything flows. It's not just more work, it's that you don't get to enjoy them as much.
I bring our oldest dog to work with me every day and it's definitely more pleasant/relaxing than when I'm caring for them three at a time.
But, you're obviously a big ol' dog person and that above is not really that strong of an argument against it, so what the hell, right?

http://www.flickr.co…blaw - thanks. that's a good point. I'm thinking that the boston who is a little over a year could use a playmate. other dog is 11.monkeyshine

- Thanks, dude. Here's one of my favorite quotations (cannot find the originator to give them credit)...blaw
- "Two dogs is more than twice the work of one, and three dogs is about how much work you'd expect five to be."blaw
- Hahahah... damn, it wouldn't be funny if it wasn't true.blaw

We have had three dogs about year and half now.. i would vote against it.. i love the dogs but three is fucking pack.. it really changed everything.. two males and one female.. boston,french and english bulldog.. it makes things a pretty big hassle. hard to take them on vacation.. most places limit 2 dogs max that you can have in dog friendly hotels.. cabins.. etc.. lot harder to get my friends to house sit.. Blaw is right.. you have to be really tight with discipline.. I am hoping our 3 dog is going to mellow the fuck out.. he is two now.. We also have to deal with some fights .. which has gotten expensive with some of the doctor bills.. oh yeah.. three times the doctor bills sucks.. if we had it to do over again.. i would go with two.. two is great..

I have three dogs.
They're great, but it's a right little herd when they want to be.
Its about double the fun of 2 dogs, but double to work.
dogEnjoyment.extra = dogWorkAndStress.extra = (num(currentDogs)-1)*(num(newDog...

yeah ive heard several trainers that say when you go from 2 to 3 dogs a pack mentality is put into effect. if you're willing to deal with the dramatics of it, until they sort out the stacking order... go for it

don't do it, but how can you refuse this wee guy look at the wee scamps funny mouth he he awwwww.

ah! Thanks for everyone's input. I think I'm going to try to restrain myself. I had this idea that it would be a nice playmate for my year old Boston Terrier...my other dog is 11 and still plays some but can't keep up with the year old terror.
