With that said DO NOT get a new puppy until the grief has fully subsided because the new puppy will develop some bad character traits coming into a home with no pack leadership because everyone will be grieving and doting over the new puppy. Make sure and give everyone proper time to grieve and wait until that is over before getting a new dog.

I agree with this having experienced it both ways. A quick replacement leads to expectations of similarity and isn't fair to the new dog or respectful of the old.
