    Hi.
    I could not belive, that you have 3 setters. I have 1, and I need a lot of energy for her, specialy when she was young.
    I am thinking to get second gordon setter but I don't know if I will have enough time.
    So, how dose it look to have 3 dogs?

    Actually since about 2 weeks we have 4 Gordon Setters. At easter our newest addition arrived, this time a bitch.
    I must admit that things are different if you have more than one setter. You have to make time for the dogs and you have to make sure you give them all the same attention and this is not always easy. But getting a second Gordon shouldn't be a problem. When we went from one to two Gordons we didn't really feel a difference, except from for the dog. It was lovely to see them playing together and having fun together.
    Fact is that if you wanna have a setter (one, two or no matter how many) you will need to have the time for him, he wants to get walked and needs the connection with his owner, so if you're able and willing to put some energy in your dogs and make time for them, then I don't see a problem for getting a second one.
