Anna,
For me when Timber died it took me a year to ever decide to get another, we just couldn't bear it . We then decided it was time, I myself think everyone is different and you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt when it it the right time for you guys to get another.
Hugs to you my friend

yes I probably would get another doberman is Maggie died, not right away probably like a 1 year later. I have grown to love and respect dobies. They are very smart! I would also like to get another miniture poodle!(my RB Friskie was awesome and I love poodles because of him!):)

I haven't got another dog since Jake's passing, but that's because I still have Max. If anything happened to Max, I would bring another dog into our lives - knowing that he/she would never replace Max.

I personally have not yet been in that situation. When that time does come I am positive I will get another. As for how soon, as soon as they find me. 3 of my 4 dogs have found me, 2 of them came when I wasn't looking. I don't know if it would be the same breed or not. I personally wouldn't go out looking for that exact breed, I don't care if I get a specific breed or a mix. There are some breeds I like and some breeds I don't, and I'm sure that would be a factor.
Last year, just before Christmas, my friend lost her lab mix to stomach cancer. She right away wanted another dog, but her husband was too heartbroken. She asked me to go to the pound with her just to look, so I did. There was the cutest little pit mix puppy there. When she saw him she knew she had to have another dog right away. Her husband and 2 boys came to see him later that evening, but he was adopted already. Just seeing the other dogs that all needed homes, they realized they needed another dog. They didn't bring one home that day, but did find lab mix puppy a few weeks later and adopted her. They are so happy with her and defiantly made the right decision for their family.

YES, I would get another dog; soon after my other one died (if I ever got over it), and the same breed (border collie). I would like to get another one now, but my parents have thought against it.
