I would wait for a while before getting a second dog. Your dog is just a pup yet, and probably still needs training. Get him/her further along and then get a 2nd dog. I would wait until close to 2years old.

That being said I have 9 dogs at home right now. Going from 1 dog to 2 was no big deal. Going to 3 was more of a transition, as you only have 2 hands and they all will want to have attention and be petted at the same time. Anything after 3 is no big deal, except for dog food :) And yes, I will have all 9 in the house at the same time. Most of the time there are 3 or 4 in the house and the rest are out in the yard. The hardest time is feeding time, but I just put them on the chain gang to eat, so that really isn't a big deal either.

Wait a while to add a dog unless you can eventually have 3 or 4.

Having multiple young dogs can be a lot of fun, but having multiple old ones, not so much :(
