Get your dog ready for spring with this matching dress and hat.
Things to Consider:
- Take your time and pick the right dog.
- It’s not recommended that you adopt two puppies from the same litter. They will bond more with each other than with you.
- Sex doesn’t matter as much as temperament.
- Age does matter. If you have an older, arthritic dog at home, do it a favor and don’t get a rambunctious puppy. It won’t make the older dog young again; it will just make the senior years more challenging.
- Let the two dogs be introduced to each other before you make any decisions on adoption. Try to find a dog trainer or canine behaviorist to come along to observe the interaction.
When the dogs meet for the first time, this is what to look for:
- Does one dog charge the other? Or does one dog try to chase the other dog? Don’t let it happen.
- Does one dog try to avoid eye contact? This is called shying away which is an indication of stress.
- If you are considering a smaller breed make sure you put the dog on your lap and call your other dog toward you. If the smaller dog growls or lunges, this is called lap-guarding and can often lead to other guarding issues. This is a behavior that needs to be managed.
