Right now we have an 11 week old Retriever/Lab puppy that's coming along just fine. She's quit bold but we're getting a handle on it. Still has a lot to learn (like not grabbing food off the table) but she has learned a lot considering we've only had her 4 weeks or so.
We want to get her into some puppy classes ASAP for socialization and some training.
We'd like to have a second dog someday as we enjoy going for walks in the bush with 2 , they are company for each other in the dog run / kennel if we have to leave for any length of time and it's always fun just watching then ramble around together. They will both be house dogs as well.
Just wondering when would be a good time to look at a second dog (won't be for at least 3 more months at the earliest). This summer or wait until fall.
Also , should it be an older dog or a younger dog , or would this make any difference.
(The second dog would be a rescue dog ..for sure!)
