This is one of those things that varies greatly with each case of dogs being introduced together. There are alot of variables to think about for example temperment type, and just because they get along now doesn't mean they will later on in maturity. Also as you said you aren't living together so the dogs im guessing wont be together all the time but if you ever do live together or get married you might have to crate and rotate, and also keep them under strict supervision when they are together, and seperated when you all go to work or go to sleep. Another thing i would suggest becoming the owner of is a break stick you never know when you will need it, you might never need it but better safe then sorry. As was already said think about the long term. Bottomline is I dont see a problem with having a multiple dog household as long as you socialize, and do things correctly, and not just throw another dog in the mix. Hope this helps

So my girl wants to take in a labradoodle. Someone she knows has to get rid of her, and my girl has been wanting her own dog for some time I guess. This dog is 10 months old and has been raised among many other dogs.
She really wants this dog, I think Tazer is enough for the both of us. But we dont live togather or anything, dont plan on it unless we get married, but not even thinking that far along yet. Ok enough detail what do you guys think about an apbt and this doodle dog togather in the same house from time to time? |

I think that depends on how willing and dedicated you both are to keeping both dogs safe. My house has 5 dogs (1 siberian husky, 1 APBT, 2 chihuahuas, and 1 chihuahua/polmerian mix). Most of the time the dogs get along fine; but there are times that Lugz (APBT) wants to play to rough for the husky that will be 10 years old in a couple of weeks; and ocassionally the two bigger ones get into a scuffle. Now, I feel like the three humans in our house are very aware of everything with all the dogs and very aware of the cues that can sometimes get Lugz going and therefore when we are home to supervise they are all together hanging out with us. When we are not home to supervise, the husky is outside; Lugz is in his own kennel; and the three little ones share a kennel.
I think you just have to be aware that they may get along or that they may not and be ready to deal with it if they don't get along. |

You really have to thing about the long term side of things. Tazer might be fine now, but maybe not always. Does she have time, or you both have time to add another dog into your lives and be able to commit to both dogs aswell as possible crate and rotate? Also think of it from other views, I had a relationship fall apart and have known others who've had it happen aswell. Ive Always owned bully breeds and in a relationship I was in, we didnt live together or anything But I had a foster bully at the time and my boyfriend got a Australian shepherd/Belgian Malinois Mix (Prolly spelled it wrong) anyways, I forwarned numurous times there can be a chance of problems between the dogs and the dogs got a long fine for a little while when they would have there weekend get togethers...Until one weekend they got into a fight and that caused my boyfriend to freak out and he started verbally attacking me and my dog based on the dogs breed etc basically to sum it up the relationship ended over his love for his dog, and my love for my dog (Foster or not) but we broke up.
