Pros and Cons of Multi-dog ownership?

[GreyhoundGirl]

Thanks so much, you have no idea how helpful this will be for me.

I thought of one more question... has anyone ever brought a dog from a really warm climate to a really cold climate? The dog that sparked my intrest is from a track in florida, I'm starting to wonder how she might cope with the -30F temperatures in winter. I've heard stories from areias of Romeo being cold at +40F. And he'd have a thicker coat than a greyhound would. Of course, I'd buy her a coat, but would her legs and such get cold?

In her profile it says : "She walks well on lead and eats like a champ but isn't so sure about that cold white stuff that falls outside." Would this mean she'd be terrified the first snowfall?

Thanks

I'd imagine it'd be a bit different for her at first, however, I'm sure she'd be able to adapt. Dogs are pretty adaptable animals. The only issue being transporting her from FL to you.

She's already in NY.

I might as well give you a link to the girly I'm interested in (she's the 2nd one, Booboo ) http://www.greyhoundrescuerehab.org/available.html

Michy- I have always found that multiple dogs do better than singles. They learn to play, and try as I might- I can not play like a dog would. Introductions are critical, but I can help you with that. Also the few days, take things slow.
Dogs are companion animals and pack animals too. IMO multiple dogs live longer, happier, and not to mention- more entertaining for us.. lol. I have found the new comer learns from the " other ones." To me its actually faster to train a dog with another dog in the house that knows the rules as dogs follow suit.
