How many dogs do you prefer having?
At home, I have five dogs.
Where I am staying currently, I have one dog.
With five dogs, it's very hectic, and quite stressful, to be honest. All of the dogs have their own individual needs, and although it makes it easier living in the country and woods so they can free range whenever and wherever, it's still tough not being able to take them all when we go somewher as we do not have a car big enough, and hiking is a huge hassle because you have dogs trying to barge past you. Play time is especially stressful because if one dog starts doing something the other dogs catch on and start doing it to, acting as a pack, which makes it doubley hard to train and throw the ball. Of course it has its rewards, too. All kinds of dogs to play with, at least one dog that fits what you want to do perfectly, whether that be swimming, running, biking, hiking, whatever, there is always one dog out of the five that will do perfectly with you at it.
With one dog, it makes it SO much easier. It's not so hectic, you can take her everywhere with you without having to worry about the other dogs or leaving the other dogs out. Its soo much easier to train and play and such. But had to add I don't exactly like having one family dog, I like every family member to have a dog so we can do whatever we want without someone else asking to do something with the dog. But after saying that I don't mind sharing too much and I would be OK with it.
After that being said, I really like having one dog just because I like it simple, I suppose. But I never had a chance to realize that because we have always had at least two dogs, usually three at a time. And just to add; I would have at least one shelter dog at all times
What about you?
