Possibly adding a second basenji pup to the household at the end of the year? Oakley is currently 16 months and neutered. I've been working very hard the last year on him becoming a better dog and we are making a lot of progress. Lately I have been considering adding a female pup to the mix because I think it would be great added metal and physical exercise for him and overall I think it would be better for Oakley to not have to be alone when Im at work. My fear is that he is so attached to me that I may have trouble adding a dog to the household (it's just Oakley and I). Awhile back I considered adding an adult female but Oakley still needed a lot of work an after thinking about it, thought it would be harder for him to accept another adult as easily as a lower ranking puppy. I may be completely wrong and maybe he would be great but something tells me he wants his mom off limits to others in regards to affection. What things should I consider? What personality should I look for to compliment Oakley and minimize issues in the house? Obviously, the end of the year is a ways away but I really have a lot to consider and I want to be prepared to make a good decision for everyone involved…
IS two better than one???
