damon Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi everyone, I would really like to get a companion for my 6 month old male husky. He is no problem what so ever. I dont know wether it is to soon to get other one just now or wether it is best to wait till he is older? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you are where you want to be with training, the right time just depends on if YOU are ready! It will be twice the fur and twice the cost! I got a second one when my first was 9 months old, but he was a terror and I wanted him to get through all of the training classes first.

jonnyc4t Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I honeslty wish I got my two at the same time. I am now suffering through the puppy stage again when I could have gotten it all out of the way at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 When to get a second depends on several factors. You and your lifestyle and ststion in life is one. Your current dog is one. And the potential addition to your pack is one. It is best to have some separation between the first and second as far as when, only because it makes setting the ground rules easier when there is one introduction at a time. Although I can see the potty training issue having to deal with it twice. That gives credence to looking at a rescue for the second.

Jay Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yeah, that was a nightmare...it was like a full year of the puppy stage! I honeslty wish I got my two at the same time.

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm so glad we waited we couldn't have dealt with blazes teenage stage and a naughty puppy at the same time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylilhuskyboyICE Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've had my second for two weeks now and I must say, I'm lucky, they hit it off really fast, however I rescued ice at 18months in january and rescued sabre at just under 7months two weeks ago. They get on great but still have their squabbles, if you really do want a second companion for your current, I really would rescue, that way you skip having to potty train apart from fixing the newbie to your routine (a few accidents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
