There is one thing that he does that makes me a little concerned about maybe getting a female. Even though he's fixed, he has big mint green stuffed doggie that he loves to (for lack a better word) hump. Would he try to do this with a female? I know that when dogs do that to people they're trying to assert themselves as leader of the pack. Not sure, though, how much of the behavior is sexual and if he would try anything with a female? Would appreciate everyone's thought/experiences with something like this.  |
Not a silly question at all! I have 2 outside dogs(both females, both been spayed), they get along fantastic. Inside, I have 2 females(spayed), 1 male (spayed) and a new female that is almost 6 mos, that isn't spayed yet, and they all get along fine. I think your little guy will do fine with either female or male(if the male is neutered). All dogs tend to get along a lot better when they've been spayed/neutered. Good luck on your search. Myself, I prefer little girls.
