Are we really crazy? is 4 dogs too many?

I see nothing wrong with it so long as the owner has the time, space, money, and commitment for that amount of dogs. Those are the only things that really matter. I personally have two dogs, a female Chihuahua and a male German Shepherd. I also have two cats. All of them get the love, attention, exercise, and care that they need. I am financially stable to have all of my pets.

A lot of people have 4 or more kids so why not 4 dogs? I am considering a 4th right now but not sure how the fiancé will react so I haven t made a decision yet. One of our dogs is 15 y/o and not in the best of health but the other two are 1 1/2 and have really brought life to him since we got them. Normally I wouldn t have put him thru dealing with puppies at his age but when his older brother died he was very depressed and I thought I would give it a try and boy what a positive affect it had on him.

But I definitely don t think 4 is crazy, think of it as 4 dogs you saved:)

I guess you can call us both crazy. At the present, we have 4 dogs (we had 6 at one time) 15 cats, 1 parrot, 2 donkeys. We use to have many more animals. We don't go any where either. I think after about 2 or 3 pets it doesn't really make much difference.

4 dogs don't sound like much to me considering my brother and his wife have 16.

1 Australian Shepherd

1 Doberman

1 German Shepherd

1 Miniature Poodle

1 Cocker Spaniel

4 Chihuahuas( one just had 5 pups)

2 Boston Terriers

Not to mention the...

10 Cats

12 chickens

2 flying squirrels

1 hamster

1 snake

1 turtle

1 African Grey Parrot

10 horses

I have 5 dogs and a kinda small house and they are awesome you just have to take them for walks more often and I have most big dogs 2 pitbulls 2 mix breeds and 1 puggle

properly i think of I suited you. we've 2 birds, a pond with fish, 2 tanks one with fish the different has yabbies, a cat, a rabbit and at the instant one dogs and quickly we are transforming into yet another dogs. We even have 2 teenagers. we like animals and the youngsters learn thousands approximately accountability and life having them. they seem to be a important element of our lives. we wish to retire in approximately 20 yrs purchase a block and rescue some sheep and a cow. i might love a horse yet my Hubby is frightened of them. We additionally desire to reproduce border collies then because of the fact we like them yet our life variety isn't fairly ultimate for them.

It sounds like you have the time, energy and love to take good care of 4 dogs so I would say it isn't to many for you. It would be to many for my husband and I - 1 dog and 1 cat is plenty for us. Even 1 dog is to many for some people because they don't even have time or energy for that one.

Your not crazy. If you can take them all to the vet, walk them all, play with them all, feed them all. With no problem at all. Being responsible and such. Yard for them to play in. And a comfy house to be in.

Your fine. Nothing is wrong with four dogs. At least not 24 dogs!

as long as you can handle them, care for them and give them all the TLC they need? not crazy at all!

when i was younger we had 12 dogs huskies and malamutes and at one point during that we also had a rotty and a border collie the BC was stolen and the rotty died of cancer so we had 12 dogs after that and 1 cat a stray black cat named Blacky. to top it off when we inherited and bought some of those 12 dogs they were pregnant the previous owner we inherited them from had been a breeder and show owner of them. the dogs we bought ...apparently the owner hadn't been watching as well as they thought and their neighbors male got in with his two girls. so we did end up having over 12 at one point all were rehomed spayed and neutered or died of old age at our place.

4 litters and only 3 litters survived the mother of the fourth was a female we bought not knowing she had been bred..my father didnt want to abort the pups because he considered it murder but the pups did die soon after birth failing puppys.

(it was a crazy couple months before we got them all under spay/neuter contracts and rehomed them)

my parents now have 3 dogs. i have 1 cat that i ended up adopting last night and a pekingese to top it off in november i will have a second dog =]

i think one day i would gladly own 8 dogs again just not 12 lmao.
