Interested to know how far apart every one got their Dogs

I had 12 yr old Clover when Onyx came home at 7 weeks.
Onyx was 5 months when I adopted 21 month old Kacie. Clover passed at almost 15 yrs of age.
Karlo~ 8 weeks came into the picture when Onyx was 2.5 yrs, Kacie almost 4.
Now Karlo is almost two!! Time sure does fly!

First we got Chopper, then three years later we got Molly, then eleven years later we got Dodger.

4 to 5 yrs apart is perfect for me!

Get to raise and focus on training and socializing one and then knowing exactly what I'm adding the new pup to!

Indeed! Five years between dogs here! Also works out great in that the younger dog defers to the older dog based on her seniority, so both dogs get along great. Too close in age (like one or two years age difference) would have probably caused constant squabbles for the alpha position, as my older dog likes to think that she is boss.

A new pup needs a lot of one-on-one time for training, bonding, socializing. Having an older dog that is settled means I did not feel too guilty spending more time with the younger one during his first year.

Our two are almost exactly 6 months apart in age. We got Harley at 8 weeks and Annie was about 12 weeks old when we got her. They're both 3, Harley will be 4 in April.
Hopefully the next one will be coming this spring. (yay!)

Raven is 3 and Kaiser is 1. I had Raven for 3 years before I added Kaiser (who was 1 when I got him).

 

[Good_Karma]

I marked same age, as Niko and Rosa are just two months apart.

 

[Larien]

Including my moms dogs, they are close in age, which means in a few years, we'll be heartbroken to the extreme. Lexie is 8, Cooper is 7, Racey is 9, Beau is 4, Rem is 5 months.

 

[Dejavu]

My Sirius (mini poodle) is 10, Lobo is 6, Negra is 3.

 

[Jax08]

Banshee (Boxer) 11, Sierra (Boxer) 5, Jax (GSD) 3

 

[King&Skylar]

Cleo is 12, King is 7, Maui is 3, Skylar is almost 9 months (will be on the 26th)

They are pretty good ages and get along good together- Maui and Skylar are really close, they bonded the best, Skylar bonded with King, Maui and King didn't really bond but they like eachother, Cleo doesn't like anyone

Rocky and Cash were 4.5 years apart, which I consider to be ideal. Soon I'll have a 9-year old and a puppy.

 

[Franksmom]

King 7 years, Indy 4 years, Frank 9 months

I could not vote, I would have to say all of the above.

Babs and Jenna, Tori and Heidi, Milla and Ninja, Baby Beans and Dolly are littermates. Number one, same age.

Joy is 18 months old, and Bear and Beansy are 10 months old, so 6-12 months.

Babs and Jenna, Tori and Heidi, Milla and Ninja are all August litters, so Babs and Tori are 1 year apart, Tori and Milla are 2 years apart.

Odessa is right in the middle between Milla and Tori at three years.

So my eldest were five in August, My next two were four in August, Odessa was three in October, My next two were two in August, Joy was one in July, and the puppies will be one in March.

 

[Whitedog404]

Dexter is 11 months and Luke is almost 5 years old. So, far, they love each other! I hope that doesn't change. Both are neutered, of course.

Beau was 12 when Stark came home (8 weeks) and I don't like how far apart in age they were. Poor Beau took a lot of nonsense when Stark was around.. lol.

Beau lived with my parents (3 hours away) while Stark is with me, so they only saw eachother for a few weeks at a time when either one of us visited.

Stark is 21 months now and I am not yet ready to add another mostly because Stark just isn't ready mentally. He still requires my time and so I will wait another year or just abouts until I think he is "bomb proof" in regards to training. Obviously maintance is required but I want him to have a good solid foundation before I take time away from him and add another puppy.

Pyrate and Raina are almost 5 years apart. I got Raina when I did because I wanted to get a good pup while Pyrate was young enough to put up with puppy antics so we got Raina from Germany at a little over 12 months.

LK was 9 when we brought Kit home.
LK was 14 and Kit was 5 when we brought Frag home.
