Aww, what a sweetie. Get her, get her, get her!
You may have to work on Xavier's social skills by bringing him around other dogs and people, but it's something a lot of us go through. The neutering will help. And I think a boy and a girl are likely to get along better than two of the same.
The only thing I'd suggest right off the bat is to introduce them in a neutral location. Take your hubby and walk them on leash at a park or something and let them see each other from a few feet away. Then walk them at a nonthreatening distance for a while. If they seem OK, you can let them get closer. After that, Xavier will be less likely to become territorial at home.
Good luck, you won't be sorry. |
