I think if I were in your shoes I would get Hot Rod a friend. I always find dogs do better in pairs. I have had two males together (Pugs) and they loved each other. My friend has two females right now and it is a horror show. They fight all the time sometimes until there is blood.
When we were looking into getting Autumn a friend it was strongly suggested that I consider a male. I really thought I would be coming home w/another female. We did indeed get a male and it has been wonderful. Very little jealousy - they are very affectionate and love to play. There is really never any fighting per say..............its just rough playing, tails are always wagging! They enjoy eachother so much that Autumn runs in Blaze's crate when we have to go out so she can stay in there w/him!
Good luck and let us know what you decide! |
