It would depend on a lot of things - how old are these puppies and where are they in their training? would you get another sheltie? are you prepared for the time you'll need to spend grooming? do you have the time to do all the other training necessary with any dog x 3? do you have the money to adequately look after 3 dogs, including emergency trips to the vet, spaying/neutering?
If yes to all, then get another dog - I've got 3 and I love it (but I wouldn't want to have 3 young puppies all at the same time!)

i would agree with getting the other one now, but there is a small problem. what do u intend to do with these dogs/ r they all male,all female, a mixture and do u plan to spay and/or neuter them or just let them run amok and breed like rabbits. these r all things u need to take into consideration before getting a 3rd. one more thing, i assume u have not only the time to b a full time mom but that u have a proper size yard for them to play in.

I think it would be a great idea to get another puppy now so they can know eachother and grow up together as buddys !!

Depends on what your two dogs are like. If they are playful, but not jelous, get another puppy. If jealous, don't bother until they are older.By the way, you misspelled older.

I would wait until your other dogs are at least housebroken. Otherwise the new puppy could learn bad habits for them.

Do you want to drive yourself insane? I would wait because you get another one and then get overwhelmed, then you'll just get rid of one anyway or resent them. Besides that who wants to house train 3 pups at once. Thats just crazy

get it now so they can grow up together and if you get it when the other one is older there is going to be major jealousy problems
