Thanks everyone, I will definately hold off until Pippa is 1-2 years old and hopefully trained. That way I can make sure she does indeed enjoy other dogs and she will be older but not too old that she is set in her ways. One last question, is it better to get another girl or a boy? Pippa will be spayed at 7 months and I would also get the new pup fixed (if that matters). Thanks again everyone, I REALLY appreciate your input
