Personally I think you will be making the right decision not to do anything right now. A litter of pups always sounds really nice but if you are not committed they can be more trouble than they are worth. Your mates may say they will have a pup but are they also prepared to help you clean up shit, change bedding, mush up feed and help out with any vet bills as well as all the other costs incurred in raising a litter. It's a lot of work especially if you have a job to go to as well.
Well done mate for thinking it through! So many people don't and it's the dogs that suffer.
