Hello all, I have been reading messages on here ever since we decided to home a basset hound and it seems like you are all super dooper in the know.
We recently lost our springer spaniel at only 7 month old due to liver problems and after a lot of research and deliberation we decided a basset hound was for us !
We have found a lovely breeder through the UK kennel club who has been wonderful in giving advice and we are due to pick up our little fella in another 4 weeks time. We've been busy basset proofing our home and generally filling our brains with all things bassety - it's rather addictive and we haven't even got him home yet !
The question is we were wondering are having 2 boys as opposed to 1 a good idea ? We always saw ourselves as a 2 doggie family in the future and wonder if it would be more settling for them as puppies having the 2 together ?
Obviously we have weighed up the cons - more vet bills, food costs, more of a smelly house!, mess ect. And I will be at home with the pup full time so separation anxiety shouldn't be too bad (except at night!). Am I just getting too excitable and thinking totally bonkers thoughts of having 2 ? Or should we wait a few months and them get another once one has settled in ?
My minds a fuzzy basset overloaded mess so opinions ,especially from those who have had two pups or young ones at the same time would be most welcome !!!
thank you all !
