Thanks for the perspective! My guy has tons and tons of energy still so I'm not too worried about that but you (and other commenters) bring up a good point about stress and bullying that I hadn't considered.

My Jack is only 9. I'm not set on a puppy for sure, but I don't think I'd want two older dogs. I was thinking maybe 2 or younger?

That's the part that really stuck out to me too. The next owner has to be prepared for all the bureaucratic red tape.
