hi
thanks for all the advice, and its been a mixed bag, i have four adults in the home and one 12 nearly 13 and my youngest at school now, so i have all day for them, i do not work, and my husband is home also four days in the week, i feel after having a family conference, and chatting through who could do what, and how people felt, we have decided to go for it, i know some of you will scream, at the screen, but we have chatted with the breeder, covered so much and talked about the temperments, and she really knows her dogs.
I would not contemplate it at all, if i thought for one minute i could not give the dogs what they needed, or the family wouldnt help, elmo who we have already is so well behaved, at 10 months, he knows all the commands of sit, stay, leave it, drop it, and wouldnt take food until he is told to take it, even if it is on the floor infront of him. and also understands "be nice", i hope you can all wish me luck, and i will keep you posted, i have become friends with my breeder now, and she is always on the end of a phone to, she says i have done a good job with elmo and she thinks i will cope well, and give them a good home, she has refused people dogs, incidently that is why the chance came up in the first place, so she really is good. thanks for the support, especially those that gave a bit of light, i spoke to someone the other day, that actually did have three, and one came from a rescue home, and she said she never had problems, and no fighting, so i have my supply of matchsticks ready for my eyes, and the valium, hey! maybe i should do a diary slot, could come in handy for others, as this must be a regular issue for a lot of people. and lets face it i have got through 4 toddlers and 2 teenagers WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT :shock:
