Pros and Cons

So now you're thinking about it, right? And you want to know what it's really like. Here it is, broken down into black and white.

On the Con Side:

Schroder has some issues with stairs. He can go down 2-3 stairs with no trouble but anything more than that he won't attempt. He cannot go up stairs very well at all, and needs to be carried.
You need to give Schroder a pain pill for arthritis in the morning (He loves it; it's his morning treat!)

They shed as much as 1 slightly larger dog.

When you go on walks, everyone comes over to ask you how you managed to get two- two!- dogs with only three legs, and will want to visit with them and ask questions about how they're doing.

Schroders hearing can come and go occasionally, so his recall isn't great. Best to stay near him so he can see you easily.

For the Pro:

They love going for short walks- so if you don't have time every day for a long walk, they're happy! If you only go once or twice a week for a longer walk or to the park, they'll love you anyway.

They LOVE the car- very easy to get them to go places like the vet or the park.

They love people, noise, activity, children, dogs, and are oblivious to cats.

The love to cuddle, and are very good at it.

They walk very well on a leash, and behave well off leash.

Tango has excellent recall.

Schroder doesn't walk very fast, so if he's off leash he's easy to get to.

Both are very calm and patient.

They're like one dog, just with more personality!

They are totally housebroken.

They will love you in the way only 2 dogs who finally have a forever home can- with all their hearts.
