I would like to get your opinions. I am seriously considering the possibility of a younger brother for Miss Tallulah for the spring or summer. I think two Bullies would be just that much more to love and while it will be more work i just think there would be lots more joy and fun to go around. Is this a good idea? Or am I just being a hopeless romantic? I get conflicting opinions from people I talk to. Most of my friends think it is not a good idea to bring home another dog and that dogs are happier being the only dog in the household. They think I am crazy to want to get another Bully and that Miss Tallulah would be sad that she was no longer the only dog and had to share me. Do you think Bullies generally are ok with the company of other Bulldogs or do they thrive most by being the only dog in the home? I would never want to do anything that would compromise her contentment.
Tallulah is sweet and a bit shy in new situations. She is friendly and likes meeting dogs but hangs back a little at the off leash dog park until she is sure the dogs are not going to be unstable. Some of them can be pretty hyper and she sticks very close to me until she is sure they are not going to knock her over or get aggressive. I would call her friendly but cautious. She is stable and well adjusted. She is very friendly with people and children. Especially with our grandchildren or any young toddlers- she is very gentle and attentive to them.
Do you think she is too young to introduce another dog into the family- she will be 1 1/2 this summer - if we do bring in a new puppy should we wait another year? Is a young puppy the best way to go? I would also take in a Bully from a rescue if the consensus was that this would be the best option but there isn't a bulldog rescue in this province and there doesn't seem to be any support for out of province or out of state rescue adoptions.
I apologize for the meandering post but really look forward to hearing what you think.
