I agree with you. I probably should have qualified the energy statement by adding that while energy levels of dogs are important for dogs getting along, the owners should also understand what they themselves can tolerate so as to create sustain a happy living environment. Many things go into picking a dog that transcend the initial moment and should be considered for long term consequences. The best thing is for anyone considering a first or second dog, or more, is to really understand what kind of dog they want that fits their lifestyle and personality and then figure out if that will mesh with the second dog or rest of the pack. Many reputable breeders will let a prospective owner take a pup or dog home for a trial visit and welcome a return should it not work out. This is good for both the dogs and people.
It is apparent there are a ton of dog lovers on FM as evidenced by the images and stories in the many pages of the thread. It is a thread I check every time I sign in to see if there are new images being shared. Many thanks to all who share on this thread.
