a second BT ?

by Dom
(Quebec, Canada)

Hi guys ! I have a 1 year old male BT, he's very active, a little destructive but so cute and he loves us so much ! But he still demands a lot of our time and don't really care if we are doing the dishes or laundry or whatever, it's always ''look at me, look at me...'' I was wondering if a second BT in the house would calm him down ? Does having a little ''sister'' would be beneficial for him ? Or would both be over excited by the other ?
thx
Dom

Hi! Our 1yr female Boston Leyla has always been psycho hyper-active, despite any exercise or activity. We decided we were ready for another dog, and we thought it might help to give Leyla someone to play with. We got a 9wk male frenchie/boston mix a few weeks ago. We named him Angus, and he and Leyla get along great. They play together NON-STOP, and can get pretty rough sometimes. Angus is mellow, but Leyla's psycho energy rubs off on him, and he can get pretty wild. They wear each other out playing, but...Leyla is still crazy as ever.
In some ways, it has made her more manageable, in some ways, it's made her worse. Just make sure that you are totally ready for another pup, and MAKE SURE that the next one you get isn't as hyper active as the first... or you'll have DOUBLE the crazy. Good luck! :)
