Hi! I have had Simon since he was a puppy and recently rescued Hallie, a 3 year old female who was abused and neglected. It was difficult at first but they are hilarious now. Hallie has absolutely become the Alpha (probably because she is older) but the boy-girl dynamic is very good. Simon is still a lot of puppy and Hallie is a lot calmer but they play and sleep together now. It was a great choice for me to get him a sister, even if it was by accident
