While puppy hunting, we called a few numbers before we found Millie. We contacted one breeder of DDB who were not quite ready to go at the time but decided against because of the price but also as I was unsure of another DDB as I was worried about constantly comparing to our late girl. So we got Millie. However, I have had a text from that breeder (they obviously kept my details) asking if I'm still interested as they have a boy pup who was returned by the people who took him (not medical apparently but not sure why). He is just shy of 4 months - 2/3 weeks younger than Millie.
They are asking for less than half original cost.
My first reaction was no. Insurance, food, paying for visits while I'm at work goes up with 2. Costs to board her at my dog sitters home when we holiday without dogs (only once a year if that!!)
But then I began to wonder. I'd always fancied 2 when our DDB was alive but never took the plunge.
So I googled '2 puppies' and the advice is head spinning. Separate training, daily. Separate walks, daily. They may not get along. Or maybe they will too much and not respect the humans of the household. And it goes on.....
So the sensible me needs to text back and say thank you very much but no; i got my pup and she's lovely (apart from the diarrhoea!!)
But the dog lover in me wants to say yes please!
