Two here but I also count Ms Frannie Foo who owned my heart for two years. So that makes three plus Ms Tula-my foster girl so I am up to 4. But only three. OMG maybe I need to add a new baby-LOL
Great idea! We just got our second and it's been a lot of fun! Our older guy isn't so fond of him because the little one steals his toys and bones, but when the little one is gone (at the vet, puppy class, etc), the big one greets the little one first. Big one is 9 years old, and about 15 pounds. Little one is 6.5 months old and 9 pounds. They are too cute!
I agree, two is MUCH more fun, but can be more of a challenge training-wise as well.. We got Aries right as Sonic was turning a year old and we were gearing up for his Canine Good Citizen test. He had all the basics down and it turned out a second at that time really helped in fine tuning a lot of the items as well as working with a big distraction. But I can't imagine the headache of having a second while still getting training down with the first.
They now get a lot of joint refresher training around the house (as well as individual work) and there are still times where one breaks a stay early and it triggers a chain reaction in the other, so it still can be tough at times. We're still trying to get them really good at walking together on leash, right now they tangle and run in circles around me even though separately they have wonderful heels.
We are on our second Hav--so far we are a one Hav at a time family, but with all this talk of MHS, I might succumb to the Syndrome at some point. If I did succumb, I would want to do a rescue. I do know that I will never be without one. They are the only breed for me!
Thought I would share a photo that I was able to get with most everyone in one spot.
They were all having fun chewing on the chew sticks, and going around taking someone elses
oh my gosh!!! look at that rainbow of Havs!! Gorgeous Heather!!
your house must always be a hoppin' fun place to be!! How many do you have??
Are those all YOURS or do you have a puppy or 2 left??
Thank you Tammy, we have 13 here, though 3 of them are puppies that are looking for their forever homes and 2 are adults that are doing the same, well at least one is as the other one is moving to the UK probably by the end of next month so then that will leave us back to our 8
That's an awesome picture, Heather. You certainly have a full house. Thanks for sharing photos of your "collection" with us. Amazing that you got them all in one place at the same time.
I have one precious female Hav who is just 10 months old - We are now considering another!! Is that crazy or what?? I have just put away all of the crates and gates and puppy pads, and my overworked mop has finally had a chance to dry out for the first time in months! But still....it is soo tempting to imagine the fun of having two Hav's!
People, you need to tell me what I'm getting myself into!!!
