I have always had at least two dogs, but most of my life, alot more than that at a time. I have found, IMO, that try as you can, you cant play like a dog would play with another dog. I have found two dogs are happier than one. And I dote on my dogs, spoil them rotten, but they still love to play with each other.
We got Galina because she was being dominanted by the other alpha bitches in the pack at her breeders. She came here a wall flower, and just by playing with her brother, she has really turned into quite a silly little character. Even Hottie tries to get into the games once in a while.
The only negative I have found in multiple dogs, is supervision. Two heads are better than one for getting into mischeif. However- that has become second nature to me. I have also found like breeds at least in how they think, get along better than two different breeds that dont think alike at all. Like- most of the herding breeds get along great together.
I am excited about this not only for having a collie again, but the age of the puppy is perfect too. Old enough to know a few things, but young enough to allow the other two males "alpha" in the house. Of zubin has no clue what an alpha is.. lol.. ( knucklehead... lol..)
Alot of the temperment in the Borzoi is alot like a collie. They are couch pototoes, intellegent without always thinking what else is there to do, and lets face it- GLAMOROUS! Some people dont like alot of coat- I do. I brush my guys every day- Hottie twice a day with his mature adult male coat.
I cant wait! I already named him!!! lolllllllllllll... His name is Major.
