I completely agree with this.
When I got Pepper, my first dog, I didn't know very much about the dog world and I just wanted a family pet and I think she was about £300 2 1/2 years ago. By the time it came to add another dog to the family I been reading Dogsey for 2 years and had a much better idea what I was doing! and little Gozo was twice as much!
My dogs suit my lifestyle and my income.
If I had a much bigger income then I could have more space, a bigger car, a cleaner
no need to work at all then I would definitely have more dogs; a few more Affens and a Finnish Spitz for sure! Maybe an Airedale for the OH and an Irish Wolfhound for me...
