Shop Dog(s) ? ?
I have very little experience with pets or disciplining pets. I'm single, have a large house and yard next to a highway. My dental assistant found 3 stray Beagles (I hope they are Beagles). There are a male & female available. I'm tempted to get both so they will have company. My sister has 2 dogs different ages and, of course, one is dominant. I'm thinking litter mates may be more agreeable and I can avoid any introduction rivalry. I expect rivalry, never the less. It's just the nature of the beast.
- I do plan for the dogs to live outside.
- I do plan to let them inside to visit at night, etc.
- I'm getting a portable pen, 6' X 10' and a plastic doghouse.
- I will have both dogs neutered.
Eventually, I plan to get rid of the portable pen and let the dog(s) live in a courtyard in front of the house.

Please vote and give me reasons to consider and advice as a new dog owner. I do have lots of friends with experience including a vet and a kennel owner.
