Dogs are always in the way. I'm not saying you can have as many as you like, but going from a mid terrace to ginormous house didn't mean we fell over dogs any less. Two dogs takes no more time than one* Less, IMO as they play together. Having seen how much ours get out of having a playmate, I wouldn't have a single dog again.
* once they are past the puppy stage. Puppies do take more time and patience than dogs. |

Will Georgie like having one? Everything will have to be shared and pups are boisterous, does he/she love playing in the park with other dogs? | ||

puppies have issues but so do adult rescue introductions
multi mutt is more effort than singleton but they are pack critters and multi is also easier in some ways. what type and personality would be best depends on you and the current mutt population |

How will the other critters adapt?
How old is Georgie again? Also, add the usual plug for Dogs Trust / rescue centres, etc |

Georgie is 4. I want another Cav, plenty of cavs who need rescuing. There are often young cavs put up on gumtree and so on who have been bought cos they are cute by people who don't realise they are also bouncy. | ||
