So glad you touched on the 2 and thank you for sharing your brother’s experience! At times I’ve gotten cold feet that 2 might be biting off more than I can chew, especially as it’s just me. Then I’ve thought about the bonus of them being company for each other and also rough housing together and working off energy together.

I’ll definitely take them and me off to puppy school. The litter i have 1st dibs on, the mother is Labradoodle but the father is a small (not miniature) poodle. I’m hoping they’ll be smaller than the mother but it’s ok if they’re not. I’m very strong - at the moment. I just need to get past the toddler and teenage years (in dog years)!!

It’s all coming down to planning and going for it.

Thank you and thank you everyone who have helped me go ahead and become a doggy mommy. It will be a huge commitment but I’m up for it ❤️❤️
