What's life like with 3 or more boxers

[SILLY6PAK]

The difference from 2 to 3 is HUGE. After 3 the difference was not as big. 3+ is a pack. I think training and time management needs to be in place. I always saw myself as a horse person. I knew when I married we would be a 4 dog home. IT WAS HARD. To be honest 4 to 8 wasn't as hard. Just finding the time for each. Also money.
I think 3 changes the dynamics of the house. You sound like you have a handle on your two and lots of help so I am sure you will be fine.

I agree that 3 definitely changes a household a great deal! I was used to having 2 and then had a 3rd and it definitely seemed to be a lot more work. I think if you have 3 and cope fine with it a 4th doesn't really change the dynamic or the work that is required.

The jump from 2 to 3 is a big one though!! Just make sure you have enough time to spend with each of them, that was my biggest hurdle but you make it work!!

Cheers

Oh Tracey.... I little white baby - that's what I really want lovicon

You read my other thread about "maybe" taking a one year old fawn - now I'm thinking my heart isn't really in that :confused:

I'm thinking maybe I should wait a bit longer for my heart's desire......
oh, decisions, decisions..........

Can't wait to hear how you get on........post as soon as !!!!!!

I have been tossing and turning all night.
Dh is like look I see no problem there are 5 of us in this house and your mums here all day.
It's true everyone mucks in, my son & daughter are brill (my daughter especially) so it's not like I'll have it all on my shoulders.
I think I have made my mind up for sure, mum's fine with it but says she doesn't like the pink eyes on white animals I told her they don't have pink eyes and that they aren't albinos

I'll take my camera tomorrow and post some pics.

My daughter said if we get one can we name him 'Cheesecake' because I wanted to call Zebedee that but no one would let me
Me & Dh like the name 'Casper'. Dh said he'd like some relevance to him being white with his name and is trying to think of more sugggestions.

Oooh if you get a white baby you'll have one of each! Can't wait to see pics, I too, think you'll have a new baby soon!

You know that once you lay eyes on the puppy its all over, right?
You seem as though you have lots of help so go for it.
Just remember, according to the other posts, once you have three, adding another is a piece of cake (maybe cheesecake? )
