No, this is something that you will be forced to deal with more than once in your life so asking others that have already dealt with it in their own life is the right thing to do. Knowing that a soulmate is living somewhere without you makes it a special kind of pain but losing canine lovers is inevitable.

Start by asking the dog you are with what he wants. He is young and not burdened by all of the history that humans carry around with them. Follow his lead in the relationship. He will want what makes you happiest so his advice will be the best for you on a larger scale (Look out for his opinions on food and such).
