When Zoey was about 10 months old I added Toby. I think it was good timing. They are growing together and enjoy each other's company. Personally I decided to get a male to curb any possible alpha problems that might come up later down the line. Although you will spay/neuter your babies you can still sometimes get a more dominant dog. There are folks on here that have multiple females or males in their home and things are ok but I wouldn't want to take that chance and be the one that is not so lucky. It would be heart wrenching to have two fighting all the time to the point you need to rehome one.
I enjoy having one of each sex. They have such different personalities.
Good luck in deciding.
