Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Hi and WELCOME to YT ! Yes, males can have a higher risk of cancer if they're not neutered; they also may mark more. As far as what to get for a 2nd pup - it's totally up to you! I have 2 males and 1 female and love them all.

| welcome to YT, agree, males can have a higher risk of cancer if they're not neutered, neutering may reduce marking. I had 4 females, 2 spayed, 2 not spayed, all got along beautiful. If you get another male they would have to be neutered because they WILL fight for dominancy. Good luck in choosing your next baby.

| Hi and welcome to yt! I would for sure have him neutered. It is a benefit in many ways...especially if your considering a female as you don't want an accidental pregnancy. I would do some meets and greets on neutral ground with other dogs to see how he feels about them. if you bring in a puppy he may bond better but it all depends on his personality.
