Here's the Alaskan Malamute/Border Collie mix I've been watching over:



I would dearly love to adopt this little guy but I'm wondering if it it might be too much for us to manage two pups. Bijou, our tri collie, is doing beautifully (she's very smart and is learning her commands as well as becoming quite bonded to us) but she's still a pup herself at almost five months. This little AM/BC is evidently 11-ish weeks (sometimes the description isn't up to date -- he might be 14-ish weeks by now...). The AM/BC will probably be bigger at adulthood (est. 60 lbs?) than our collie (est 45 lbs?). However, since I'm home full-time it's not as much of a hardship re: housetraining, etc, and that really makes things easier on our household. In addition, considering that these are intelligent breeds (aren't they all, lol), they'll grow up together learning the same rules which might eliminate some stress/dominance issues later on.

Whether we decide to adopt this little guy or not, I just thought I'd share the photo so you could see who I've been dreaming of! I'll let you know how things pan out! Thanks for all your feedback thus far.
