When I lost my boy this winter, the vet recommended a young male dog to keep my 7 yr old female company. She had always been the alpha dog in the relationship. I found a 10 month old male that I just adore. They get along fine, she "let's" him play with her and she absolutely lets him know when she does not want to be messed with. They are both fixed and it has never been an issue. I'd go with a male, I haven't regretted it. Mine are Isabel and Moses. |
