Get one now, and a second in a couple of years. Two are easier than one. They act like dogs rather than people and entertain themselves. Get the first one trained and socialized and then bring a second one home.

Get pet insurance. I have a Vet for a father who handles my dog’s routine medical stuff, but I live a few hours away and he’s winding down his practice. He encouraged me to carry insurance. I pay $35/month for each of my two dogs, and I got it the minute I picked my dogs up from the breeder to avoid issues with preexisting conditions. It’s peace of mind knowing I won’t be forced to refuse emergency vet treatment because I can’t afford veterinary bills. I use Healthy Paws.
