I was under the impression that it was from 6 to about 18 months. Well at least I have a bit more time to brace myself, lol.

Always the same way going out....coming inside, Alpha bitch goes after me, then the others all try to fit through the door at the same time....pretty funny! |
LOL. That is pretty funny. I can just picture it. Having 5 in the house at once amazes me. I just saw on another forum a lady who had 11 at the same time, now 10... with 5-dog rotations for going out.... Boggling.
I guess in the end you just have to use common sense and try things out as there isn't much info/advice on the subject. There are a couple of books on multiple dog households floating around... I guess that speaks volumes about the idea;) .
