I'm gonna say 2-4. There's 3 dogs living at my house right now but only one is mine. I would love to get another dog, another husky. I think I could handle 2-4. I don't think I could go for any more than that though. When I think about how much time I spend with Nebo, I don't know how I could give that much individual attention to more than 4 dogs. I think it's very important for dogs to get individual attention. I don't know how people with 10+ dogs do it, honestly. I'm not saying their dogs don't get individual attention I'm just saying I don't know how I personally could give that many dogs individual attention.
