Universal studies learnt us that many
petdogs lead a lonely life. Having just one Cardi is great |
|
but as we leave our house, our good
companion stays behind. |
|
To avoid stress and loneliness it is
recommended to have a second pet in the house… |
| |
 |
 |
|
From my own experience I can tell you
that having 2 or even more Cardis |
|
absolutely is of higher value.
|
| |
|
The big surplus is that they recognize
each other's play as it is breed specific |
|
and therefore they are triggered to
react. Most of the time dogs of the same breed |
|
will accept and tolerate each other
easier than dogs from other breeds, |
|
this is because they understand each
other's behavior and don’t experience it as threatening. |
| |
|
On the other hand, I do not recommend
people to have 2 pups from the same litter. |
|
This because it
asks so much, even from experienced dogpeople. |
|
After a period of time you will
experience that the 2 pups did not develop as free |
|
as you would have hoped for. 2 Pups will
very easily focus on each other and give less |
|
attention to their owners. Together they
will feel strong but when taken out |
|
on their own, they will feel insecure.

|
A second or third Cardi is recommendable
but I would only have another one, |
|
once the First dog has settled as a good
companion and is in balance, mentally and physically. |
|
Dogs copy each other's behavior and if you
still face minor problems with your first dog, |
|
the higher the risk that your second dog
might start to react the same way and you wouldn’t |
|
be happy to have 2 dogs who show behavior
you would not like to see. |
| |
|
Having a dog or a bitch is a personal
preference, it is not to be said that 2 dogs will fight
|
|
each other en that 2 bitches will not!
Allthough a lot of people think so. |
|
If the first dog
developed into a steady dog, the pup will be corrected by
the other dog in a |
|
normal way and a good relationship is to
be expected. Eventually the younger dog will try to |
|
stand up to the older dog at one point
but that will take some time! |
| |
|
If you are in doubt about having another
Cardi, do contact the breeder you trust! |
