"differentiating" is probably not what you meant but is correct.
People tend to differentiate between novice and experienced owners. Between multiple dog households where the dogs are almost same age, size, breed etc., versus where they are different ages, size, breed, etc.
However your assumption that all who urged you, Zach, not to get the second pup were speaking from theory is incorrect. My common sense says you should have a track record of raising one dog well training etc. before you take on two at a time. So apparently common sense is in the eye of the beholder or something.
That there is little written about the subject does speak volumes about it. so does the fact that a number of the serious and newsmaking maulings by dogs have been by mini-dog-gangs (two is enough to form a gang) often owned by young adult owners. Males more often than females.
