As of today, we have 16 dogs here. That sounds insane, but you know, it's working. It depends on the dogs and that's why I have to choose carefully. Even my husband just said that having this many dogs isn't bad as long as they are a great pack like we have right now and all behave and get along. It's true. With a bit of training, some treats and treat sessions, I get their attention and then they all work together. We have baby gates everywhere and I separate them off to different areas at feeding time so I'm not trampled but we don't have any problems. And we have a house full of happy, healthy dogs. But you put one off-balance dog in here and it throws the whole energy of the house off and then it's miserable. Right now I have most of them in the floor of my office, chewing on cow hoofs and just being content. And I can't stop looking at them. There's a whole lot of love in this house.
