Three dogs too much?

Do any of you have three or more dogs that are "companions/buddies to the end"? Live inside, play well together, stay active, etc?

I actually want to add one more member to my family. Just wondering if I'm in for a lot of trouble that a single parent can't handle.

Franklin(male) is an Olde Boston Bulldogge- 7yrs old
Lucy(female) us an Olde English Bulldogge- 9wks old

Possibly adding another female Olde Boston who will be around 14-16wks old. New litter, so Lucy will be about 6 moths old then.

 

one of my good friends has three dogs that live inside together and they get along fine. Two are more active and entertain one another more than the third which likes to sunbathe or sleep on the couch most of the day.

 

I have 2 pit bulls and a min pin, and they are all house dogs. I live in a townhouse. They all get along fine, and play nicely together. But my wife and I work out of our home, so we are almost always at home with them so they get plenty of attention and get to run around outside often.

 

4 boys here. A mini Aussie, a Lab/Pyrenees mix, a Lab/ Wolf Hybrid mix, and an Appenzeller Sennenhund. They are all rescues living in the house and get along splendidly. No aggression issues whatsoever and they are all just big buddies.

 

I have three Belgian Malinois. They're atypical Mal's. They live in house with me, but they're never left together unattended.

They do scuffle some times, usually because my bitch is being a bully.
I've had more than one female before, but I won't do it again, especially with Malinois. Not sure I'll get another female Malinois after this one. LOL

 

You can add as many as you'd like as long as you understand what it means to be a pack and how to establish yourself as pack leader. If your the pack leader they will all submit to you and your rules.

 

I’m sticking with two. Lucy is about 8 months old and eating me out of house and home.

 

Thanks for all the replies!

 

According to the wife you can never have enough furry creatures, but to me its whatever fits your lifestyle and living space. We're planning on getting a second shiloh shepherd around end of June/early July, depending on when the puppies are born, but we have a 2100sqft 4 bedroom house with a 28' x 40' fenced in yard on a 1/3 of an acre in town. Simon eats about 4-6 cups of food a day at $86.90 for a 25# bag, which lasts about 3 weeks.

 

Two Scotties (see my avatar) and we added a hunting poodle 6 months ago. Adding a big dog as the third was a pretty big change. The Scotties are grouchy in general but the fighting has been minimal. One caught the poodle in the lip as a puppy so she knows her place.

Having a 50 lb 8 month old vs the 20 lb scotties has been a big change, but they’re all awesome dogs.

 

Why stop at 3?

 

We have 3 currently, just had to put the 15 year old jack russel to sleep. When we did Dalmatian rescue we had 7 for many years till they got old. Lola the Newf. Cash the Doberdummy. Frank the bully.

 

Between Franklin and Lucy, I’m going through a 30lb bag about every two weeks
