| Two males will get along fine! Unspayed females living together, tend to fight to be "top female"

| From my experience, males get along better than females. |

| You know what!? I think it will depend on the the dogs themselves...they may or may not fight...if you wont be home, crate them in different crates to be safe, and if they fight when your home DONT BREAK THEM UP YOURSELF! make a loud noise, or spray them with water!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I have three....two males, one female. If there are ever arguments...it's the female and one of the males.

| go for it My hubby and I just got another male, he is 4 months, we brought him home to our 1year old male. At first peanut the 1 year old didnt really like him he kind of ignored him and didnt want to be around him. So we just gave it some time and by a week they were BEST BUDS. They do fight play. but no they have never really fought, but peanut is really easy going. the baby pigpen is more domanent. I would say go for it i think they will do fine. When they play they play hard!

| I have 4 males and they do not fight anymore than siblings would :-) Actually they get along great...sleep together, play together and share their toys/food...they eat off of each others plates no problem....we do occasionally have a squabble over a chew bone but nothing major.... I have heard of more issues with females than males....

| Are you planning on getting them neutered? Theres less chance they will fight if you do
