I've got 3. Needless to say, it gets pretty hectic. Two are rather large puppies and one is older but is quite small. The small one is inside and the the two pups are outside. I've had to go out and invest in a small fence for my garden as they love to tear it up. They are mischievous, active dogs who get into trouble out of curiosity, but I suppose they will outgrow it. It's difficult though if we want to go away for a few days to find the proper care for them. Despite the trouble, they are well worth it.

at times they may seem needless but i truly love them and adore them. especially they do help my old parents.

I have 2 dogs, but they are not in the house all the time...I could stand to have any more than that...I think I would go insane...

it is not a easy job to take care of dogs, i think when it is one or two you could live with it, nut when youo have as many as i have you are going to be a lot of trouble

15 dogs? Your parents really love dogs very much. I only have one dog in my house, she's a yellow labrador. I don't think we can afford to take care of another dog. As labrador is very energetic, we always need to spend time playing with her, taking her for a walk. Also, she always 'destroys' our furnitures or our plants in the garden. She just can't sit still or be good beside you, she always like to play with you.

I have 2 dogs. One is still a puppy and is the devil incarnate. The other one is 7 years old and is pretty easygoing. He is happy just to be around you. We are still trying to break the puppy of some of his bad habits. It is just like having kids.

I have five dogs- all live in the house. The most I've ever had at one time was 7, and those were also in the house. I honestly don't think it's that difficult having a lot of dogs- but then again I work with dogs and take care of over 20 per day on my own, so 5 at home is easy lol

Currently we have five dogs (all which are pitbulls). Four which we own and one foster dog. Right now we are on a crate and rotate system. Where we have three out for two hours and then we put two away and the next two gets to come out for two hours. The foster dog is always out because he is just six months old and all of my dogs get a long with them. We have tried to have all five out at the same time but it seems like that they do not get enough attention this way. But with only have half of them out at the same time they can get individual attention and it does not seem as hectic.

I just one and even he is a handful. I don't know what I would do with another dog. I can't imagine having ten or fifteen dogs.
