I think you just need to do some soul searching as to what's best for you!
We planned on getting another female puppy this year as a playmate for Wrigley who is almost two. ( Crosley is 6 1/2 and would just rather sleep

)
Anyway, when Yorkieshadow posted on YT about a two year old girl that a breeder was selling, we decided to check her out and we ended up adopting her! On the way there I was kind of sad at the thought we wouldn't have a puppy, but a month later and I don't have those thoughts anymore! We love her like crazy!
I would suggest going there and checking out the male and the adult female and see how you connect and interact with them, that should give you the answer!
Good luck!
