    It is!!! It's also worse. :confused:

  • Two packs is worse….....I would avoid that at all costs. It's difficult keeping them apart and it's always in the back of your mind someone's going to make a mistake and let them together some how.

    Male and female pair is ideal......IMO

    Packs? Is it male?

  • @Beckis:

    I have a pack of two B's and the other has four B's. The reason that came about was because two of the females will never get along…..we tried very hard to keep it one pack.......it just didn't work out.

  • And you have to walk them separately at times so that they learn to trust themselves and not always totally depend on eachother.And remember if the older has some nasty habits or fears the pup will take after as dog´s do.So an adult dog with a good mentality and good behaviour will be a wonderful teacher to a pup but the opposite will give you double trouble.

  • the reason we got another is because ramsey had horrible separation anxiety and since we got the 2nd he is much better now we have 3 becuase we bred them and kept one and they all love eachother. and maybe having b's is special because of their personality its hard to not have more than one.

    Same for us. Sophie had issues when we got her. Getting a 2nd B helped with her separation anxiety and with her socialization skills. Getting Stick was the best thing we have ever done! Plus, I have never laughed so much in my life! Watching my two Bs play together around the house is hysterical! :D

  • We have three. The second we got to have a playmate for our first and the third we got because we fell in love with his pic on BRAT (I am no longer allowed to go to the BRAT website ,,,,lol). Three is definately challenging but they all get along most of the time and have given us endless hours of laughter and joy (as well as some very frustrating times!). If I had it to do over again I would definately do everything the same. Just make sure you have the time and resources for a 2nd b. Our first has had some vision problems and the others have to be vetted periodically and it can get a little expensive. Also, with two and three it almost takes two sets of eyes to keep track of them sometimes. One last tip,,,,if you do get a second ,,,baby gates are a must to keep them corraled!

    A campsite would be good for them to roam around. When we take on vacation, I also make sure to visit any local pet cafe so they could eat food we usually don't cook.
  • What will your B do?

    Abbey was almost banned from my son's house after she killed the cat's feather on a stick thingy. We don't have our own cat although she'd like to have one of her own. She loves cats!
