Lots of different opinions on this. I got another dog when Joey was around 7, not a puppy though, an adult, and it took Joey about a year to warm up to him, I think he would have warmed up to a puppy right away because he did with my son's puppies. If you goal is to provide a playmate for Zeus, getting another dog now is a good idea, I think the older dogs can even help a puppy become potty trained, which can be a real plus! However, the older dog might have some setbacks. Basically, Zeus is still a puppy, so I think you can get either sex and they will get along well. If I had a girl, I would get a boy, if you have a boy, you can get either, girls seem to have more of a problem getting along than boys do. Try to find a good breeder and tell them about Zeus, they might be able to help you choose a puppy with the right temperament, that will bring out the best in Zeus.
