Well we had got a pup back in Sept 06 and she was taken from our backyard in Jan of 07. We waited 2 months before looking into getting another boxer. this time when i was looking for pups i came across Savannah. Her "breeder" was trying to find a home for her since she wasnt able to be bred. She had developed a small heart murmur after her first litter. I fell in love with the girl and she came home with us about 2 wks later. with the way Savannah acted (scared of everything and one) we figured maybe bringing a playmate in would help her. my bf found Reese in late april. looking back we probably should have gone with an older pup/dog....Reese was about 12 wks or so.....b/c Reese was so impressionable that she took on Savannah's fear instead of bringing her out of her shell. sooooo, now that i shared our life story..... :lol: we didnt wait long on our decision. Prior to these girls though i had only owned one boxer at a time.

Initially my husband and I only wanted 1... but then we fell in love with the last 2 puppies of the litter and could not choose / separate them. Growing up I had 1 dog, a Doberman / Shepard mix and always felt bad for her b/c she seemed so lonely. I am 100% happy w/ the decision we made to get 2 dogs. They play with each other non-stop... snuggle 24/7... and entertain themselves playing when I've got to do housework or go to work during the day. Just recently they've started to show a little selfishness I guess you could say when I'm playing w/ one and not the other 
Silly puppies----
Hope this helps in your decision.

I would wait IMO - Harley is 4 months and I know you have had some training and eating issues with him since your post. IMO wait get him all situated, understand behavors as well as the breed. There is 100% guarantee your next pup will have the same temperment so better to be prepared then to spread yourself thin.
We got Kash when Hanna was 1.3 years old. I would have waited more, but he came and it was VERY difficult and still is at times with Hanna approaching 2 in March and him at 8 months. I think its like having two todlers!!! However, in my 1.3 years of having Hanna before kash I learned soooooo much, that when I got Kash it was a lot easier!!! Everyday is a learning experience with itself, but best to be ready than over your head. And its tough because they are soooo darn cute!!!
I always advise to get your 1 years out of the way - mainly because its the most expensive!!! Shots, Vets, training, toys, supplies, finding the right food. After about a year, you know what the deal is, and then can go into another first year of a new guy - more Vets, Food, etc. So good luck
