Well, about a month ago I started a thread where I was looking at getting a second puppy from the pound. Now, I've realized that 2 puppies would be just way too much work, but for the past month I find myself continually looking back at one particular rescue dog.
He's a 2 1/2 year old Shepherd/Mastiff Mix, weighing about 75lbs with an energy level rated at 'med'. His name is Raymond.
Now, the reasons I'm wanting to get a second dog are many, some of the reasons do include getting a buddy for Oakley, as the cats, although getting better still don't cut it. I have heard that male/male partners aren't as bad as female/female, but still aren't recommended. The shelter he is at is a local home run operation of a big-hearted guy, that as far as I can tell from his videos works very heavily with the dogs, so he should (will confirm before I do anything, of course) be trained.
So, I'm thinking he may also prove to be a good mentor to Oakley? Or am I just as crazy as I was a month ago?
