I was surprised as I was considering getting a female the same size, but I was told that the females are the bossier of the two sexes. Right now I am debating about what to do but it changed my thinking. I don't believe I will be able to get a rescue due to my working hours.

Truthfully, I don't believe one way is better than the other. I think it depends mainly on the personality of the dog. I bet if you talked to people on here, everyone would have a different way and combination that worked for them.

I got two males from the same liter. They are inseperable. Its adorable. Ive had no problems with them, they get a long great but they have been together since the day they were born. That might help.

I have three males and three females

They are just like brothers and sisters sometimes they can't be seperated and other times they are fighting (like cats and dogs

)

My little guy is named Samson too! I am thinking of getting another male too. Keep us posted on how your's do together.

i tend to see more problems with the female/female combo than the male/male so i think you would be ok!

we have 2 boys...

we adopted Roscoe when Remy was one year old-both were neutered, and after 2-3 days of squabbling and getting used to each other they are now inseperable. Every once in awhile they will get upset with each other over a bone or a toy, but nine times out of ten they are best buddies! You should expect an 'adjustment' phase but after that you should be fine

I know that a lot depends on the personalities of the dogs, too!

have fun & keep us posted!

I have a Carin Terrier that's also male
They play and run around nonstop

It can also get annoying when you're trying to sleep and two dogs are roughhousing

Our other two older boys died last Jan. We adopted two more, younger, guys from the local rescue groups. They may have a difference now and then but they are good together. Each one has their own personality and it is fun to watch them tussle with each other as little boys will do.

We have 2 boys and a girl- all neutered. No problems whatsoever.
