I love being the only dog in a 2-person household as I'm an 'attention hound.' Used to live with 2 other I.S and was unhappy. I'm an oldie so the young'ums tend to get all the attention. It's also tough to fall from Alpha to dog to "that ole boy resting in the corner." My master would like to have a pack of Irish Setters and live in the countryside but I've forbidden her to bring in more dogs while I'm still hanging on at 14 yrs!

Dudley sounds like you have found the perfect way to rule the roost!  but what else could a Duke do?  I know our Molly here loves being an only...a backyard dog who never came inside she might like but not sharing all the soft spots and soft people in the house is her ideal...she knows who to ask for what she wants so is just a wee bit spoiled ( make that rotten ) but just a joy to have in our home so our home quickly became centered around our Miss Molly! and she runs it beautifully.

Dudley prefers being in the living room with people to outside alone. He's rules 'the manor house,' tho' my home is a small English Tutor bungalow. When he's not sitting in a chair, he sprawls in front of the fireplace.....a nice decorative touch!

sounds like our baby Molly. I worry sometimes she does not enough excerisce. She sits on the lounge or chair or like yours sprawls out on the floor. We are not cool enough here for a fire when we do she will be there in front of it.

I've had dogs as pets all my life but always just one at a time. Since my marriage (30 years) we've had a dog and usually 1 or 2 cats (strays that we don't like to evict) I'm not sure how a second dog would affect our relationship with Phoebe. She gets on really well with other dogs and loves when my daughters bearded collie comes to stay. Does it become difficult to train the new pup? Do you need to separate at times to allow you to concentrate on one at a time?

Hi, even though it would be lovely to have more then one setter i'm more than happy with my lovely boy Finlay (",)

I have just one Irish Setter and my dog is very happy being the one and only.

I have one Irish Setter and then I have two, back to one and then two ... on and off this group because I am for one dog at the time but my husband needs to have two ... would love to stay in this group but then it would mean something horrible happening to my second dog, would you agree to accept a honorary one?
