Multiple Dog Owners Again...

How many dogs do you have?
Three - two Dobermans and a Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Do you have any pets as well? If Yes, what?
Nope, just the dags.

Where are your dogs beinging kept? (your room, their own room, living room?)
They are either in their crates when I'm gone, or the two dobes are loose.

How's the sleeping arrangement? (All in the same room, different rooms, different beds, share beds, crates?)
All three start out in bed, but Ada sometimes gets banished to her crate due to her mischief, and Ronin usually goes to sleep on his own dog bed by his own choice after awhile.

How's the feeding arrangement? (different bowls, same bowls, free-feeders, eat at a certain time?)
All three are fed right next to each other - different bowls, but all on the same rug in the kitchen. Each has their own bowl though, and they know better than to stick their snozzes in the others' bowls!

Do you see yourself with more than you have now?
Of course!

Did you plan to get this many?
I always knew I wanted more than one dog, but I didn't expect to get #2 (and #3) so soon. Ronin just sort of fell into my lap, and it's been snowballing from there...

How many dogs do you have? Five

Do you have any pets as well? If Yes, what? Chickens, Cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, horse, rat, mouse, Cockateils,fish

Where are your dogs beinging kept? They have free range of the house and yard, but they know their boundaries. They are not allowed in the kitchen or bathroom

How's the sleeping arrangement? The Dachshunds (sadie,bailey,buster and gus) sleep in their dog beds in the bathroom at night, and Lily (labweiler) sleeps in my room on the Footon
How's the feeding arrangement? They eat twice a day from community bowl that is always filled. They have been eating like this for years and do not over eat or gorge themselves till they pop, EVER
Do you see yourself with more than you have now? Maybe in the future, but I highly doubt it

Did you plan to get this many? Not at all. It all kinda just... happened

How many dogs do you have? I have three.

Do you have any pets as well? If Yes, what? Three rats, a horse

Where are your dogs beinging kept? (your room, their own room, living room?) Miley goes in a crate when I am not home with her, Spanky in his room (it's actually the laundry room but don't tell him!), and Bandit goes in my room. ({{THIS MEANS WHEN I AM NOT HOME... if I'm home they are right beside me usually out in the yard goofing off}}})

How's the sleeping arrangement? (All in the same room, different rooms, different beds, share beds, crates?) I sleep at the bottom of a dog pile. It tends to go: Me at the bottom, Bandit sleeping on me, Spanky sleeping on Bandit and little Miley plopped on top of the heap.

How's the feeding arrangement? (different bowls, same bowls, free-feeders, eat at a certain time?) Eat at specific times all in different rooms with their own dishes. Spanky and Bandit DO NOT get along when food is involved. To avoid fights this is how it has to be done.

Do you see yourself with more than you have now? God no! Three is the number I like. If Miley gets a home for Christmas (which would be wicked if it all works out) then in about 5 years if life is going good I'd love to add another dog. If she doesn't and I land up keeping her no more dogs for me.

Did you plan to get this many? No. They were all surprises that I did not want. I took in Spanky with the intent on keeping him but the other two came into my home with my goal to rehome them. I gave up on rehoming Bandit last year. Mile... we'll see.

Do you see yourself with more than you have now? That is always possible. Being a breeder, and showing dogs, often means you will have as many as 10+ dogs at a certain times. The population is higher when their is a litter on the ground, and just after when one is growing out puppies and trying to decide who will stay for good. I would not prefer to have more than 6 dogs in permanent residence at any time.

Did you plan to get this many? not quite so quickly or this early in my life, but i planned for even more evenrutlaly so..

How many dogs do you have? Just five - two German shepherds, three Chows.

Do you have any pets as well? If Yes, what? I'm very glad to say NO, although at one point I had horses, sheep, rabbits, cats, and a crow along with the dogs .. *L*

Where are your dogs beinging kept? (your room, their own room, living room?) The adults are pretty much with me wherever I am. We go outside several times a day. The five month old GSD pup is confined to an ex-pen if I can't be watching her, although she's starting to get more freedom now.

How's the sleeping arrangement? (All in the same room, different rooms, different beds, share beds, crates?) Same as above - they choose where they sleep except for the pup. The youngest chow is usually sleeping on the bed with me, the others sprawl out alongside or on their beds.

How's the feeding arrangement? (different bowls, same bowls, free-feeders, eat at a certain time?) The pup generally eats in her pen, the others from individual bowls. They eat twice a day and it's pretty casual - no particular time. They can eat within a foot or two of each other (I used to feed all four dogs in a six-foot long area). I don't have any problem with them bothering each other. Sometimes I just take the food and feed them handfuls - they all gather around and I give a handful to one dog, then a handful to another dog, and they all wait for their turn. They know the rules .. if they try to crowd in, they get NOTHING.

Do you see yourself with more than you have now? No. Five medium to large dogs is a LOT to live with, especially since I have a lot of joint pain/swelling and have a hard time doing basic things at times (like closing my fingers around a dish to carry it).

Did you plan to get this many? Yes and no. I didn't consciously think "I want five dogs" but I chose to accept each one as it came along. I could see myself with just three though and I think that would be better (and since I have dogs that are 16, 11.5 and 10 years old it's a good possibility that I'll have fewer dogs way sooner than I want).

Do you see yourself with more than you have now? As we live in family housing on the base and can only have 2 dogs, not at the moment. Though some day when we have our own home, I wouldn't mind being able to rescue another one, but I don't think I'd have more than 3.

Did you plan to get this many? yes, I knew from the moment we got Bronson that I wanted to eventually be able to have a pal for him and another little one that we could love and share our home with.
