2 rescue dogs.

 

One from about 8 years ago from rspca in Leicester, who is a lab/collie cross and a great dog although he got attacked by some gypos dogs a few years back and it it really messed him up and he is very nervous and wouldn't go on walks.

This summer I volunteered a little bit at redgate animal sanctuary in Markfield and ended up taking home one of the dogs, I thought initially that it would be a no go because of my other dog, but it turned out they got on fine. Now he has helped my older dog be more confident and he actually goes on walks again so it worked out very well.

For anyone with two, do you find that they do literally double the effort you need to put in or have you found it better given they play with / distract each other?

Well having another dog has really helped my other dog and it has made it easier with things like walks and feeding times. Before my dog would leave his food etc and he would want to eat at random times, now they know when they eat and that if they leave it the other dog will have it. I think overall the effort is pretty much the same it's obviously just more expensive.

 

Also it is important that the dogs get on as if they don't that would cause hassle. The only annoying thing for me is if I am taking them both on a walk around streets and they are both on short leads trolling me and wanting to sniff different things in opposing directions.

Important to get dogs that go well in temprerment.

I have three golden retrievers. They play well together... take themselves off for long walks ( we live out in the country)

Other than food, there isn't a whole bunch of difference...

oh and car space when we take them to the lake. We have a grand cherokee jeep so we just lay the back seats down..

Not doing anything to speed the process up, but when they die off I would love a couple of wiemeraners (sp!?)

Vets fees etc would be treble , and kennelling if you go away?  

 

weimaraners have got spooky eyes!

 

I like those Samoyed or husky type looking dogs, but i doubt if i'll have another dog now

Can't wait to get my own gaff again and get a rescue dog. I want a proper scruffy bastard that eats curries. Was never a cat man but the missus' sister who we currently live with has 2 of them and i've grown to love them. Still not a patch on dogs though but I suppose take less looking after.

Our scruffy little Jack Russell  :wub:

Likes - Pasta/noodles, walkies, tennis balls, bitches and tea.

 

Dislikes - All other dogs, baths, rain, cats in his garden and vacuum cleaners.

Nice one.

I share three of your Jack Russell's likes and three of his dislikes.

Some lovely photos here.

 

Absolutely love dogs but never been able to think about getting another since my childhood one died.

 

Sure I'll take the jump one day, working to give a good life to a rescue dog looks very fulfilling.

Yeah it definitely is, and in my experience they are very loving.
