Just made a spur of themoment decision to perhaps get another dog, I currently have two, a large blonde german shepard and a small blonde puggle. My friend has a couple of pure heelers, one red and one blue and they just had pups,

I can't tell you which way to go, but what I can tell you is that at least from my experience, three is much more work than two. I'm unemployed so caring for them during the day falls solely on me. Walking two dogs at once isn't too bad, but three is really a handful. I often get asked by passers by if they belong to me or if I'm a dog walker. If one of them gets riled up, it's a lot harder to control the other two while trying to calm it down. That being said, the love of a dog is an amazing thing and I have it multiplied by three instead of just two.

cattle dogs are awesome... 'cept when they try and herd you. you think theyve lost their footing til you realise what theyre doing. its funny.

my father has had a couple. the first, jack, was just plain crazy and had to be sent to the country.. and no thats not a euphemism. the 2nd, banjo, was with the family til he died. he was lovely.. had his own armchair in the sunroom.

For the pups sake, have you looked into rescue orgs? they may be willing to get them from this guy.
