Thread: What's the perfect number?

  1. #1

    What's the perfect number?

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but oh well...I'll ask again.

    I'm just curious...what do you believe is the perfect number of dogs to have [assuming you have the money, space, and time to care for them all]?

    In my opinion...I think three is the perfect number.

    What do you think??

    Haha, scary. My dad and I were talking about this a few hours ago.

    I think having 3 dogs is best. He, of course doesn't agree...lol.

    Hmm .. for me it'd depend on the dogs. With unlimited money and ample time, I'd probably like 5 dogs.

    I think I'd ultimately like to have 4. I've lived with 4 before and it's very nice

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.

    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Maybe one day...I could have at least one! lol

    The perfect number for me would probably be two or three, but I'm not really sure now since I don't have a dog

    i think 3 is an ideal number

    But we have 4 at the moment, and the 2 littlies keep one another company whilst Clover and Elvis play rough and tumble games (The 2 littlies are classed as my Mums dogs)

    I would like to get another Border Collie when i move out of home though Which will be before the end of the year.

    Right now, 4 is the perfect number!!! If I had more space and time, I'd love to have many, but we definitely have enough, especially since we both work, have 3 skin kids, 2 cats, 2 birds (and more on the way).

    Ideally, I liked having two, when it was just my daughter and me.

    I don't know what my perfect number would be.... I would think if I had (like you said) the room and the money, I'd love to have 5!
    But I do know one thing, I will never have less than two!!

    Well, personally I want the maximum number of dogs that can fit in my home.

    But...now that I've been bringing my dogs to the dogpark, I think two is a pretty good number. I break my neck trying to keep my eye on those two darting all over the place. Anymore dogs, I'd probably have to bring them out two at a time.


    Thank you Wolfie!

    There would NEVER be a perfect number because no matter how many I had i'd always want more!

    I think 4-5 would be my maximum. How anyone could have the time and money for 10+ dogs is beyond me.

    I'd really love to have 4 sibes. Nebo would be one of them of course. The rest from shelters and rescues. This would only be once I had my own house with a big fenced yard...

    But for now, I'd be incredibly beyond happy to just have one other sibe. I'd love a female, around the same age or younger than Nebo. I've seen some perfect ones on petfinder. *sigh*
