I need some advice and opinions please. My hubby is seriously thinking that he wants a black Irish Wolfhound. I would love to have one as I think they are absoutely beautiful, but, I don't know if we have the time or energy for a 4th dog. We still have a lot of work to do with Max and Cody. They still pull on lead when they are in crowds, etc. They are great just walking around our neighborhood, at Petsmart, etc. but at a craft fair, pet fair, etc. with lots of people and other dogs, they are very hard for me to control. I am working on it diligently, but have not gotten them to the point that I am comfortable taking more than one of them at a time to an event like that. I can take one and keep them calm and under control, but no more. At home they are great and basically movable rugs when they are not running through the house, knocking over furniture, etc. playing. They are only 1.5 and still just puppies (although they are very big puppies). I just don't know if we are ready to add a 4th big dog to the house. All of my dogs live in the house, sleep in the house, etc. They are all very healthy (other than allergies). I know if I agree that it will take a while to find one, be put on waiting list, etc. Maybe in that period of time, we would get to where we want to be with training the others?
Opinions please.
