If you don't want to make the purchase but want another dog, you should go to the ASPC. They will allow you to "adopt" a dog and if it doesn't work out, you can return it to them. They really want to find the right fit for you and their dogs. This way, you can make sure your little guy really likes the other dog! No strings attached and a heck of a lot cheaper! I think this is what I will do if we decide to get a second dog. |
That is another good idea. I would love to give a homeless dog a good home. |

Here a thread about adding a new dog to a household with an older dog. We got Bo cause Mom wanted a Yorkie, LOL, and to give Woody, our 8 year old Schnauzer a companion. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made!! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ighlight=Woody |
Ok, I am sorry for bringing back an very old thread, but I just had to comment on this! I've only had my Lea for four months (she's almost 7 months now) and I've been thinking about adding a new pup to my household. I do work full-time, so it this a kinder option for my girl, so she can have a playmate? I hate thinking of my baby not having anyone to play with. What about puppy school? Has anyone tried that? |
I would suggest getting a female.... My Rocky and Mickey usually get along (Mickey is neutered, Rocky is not).... but sometimes it just seems like Rocky starts fights with Mickey over nothing (my attention usually).... Rocky is 3 pounds and Mickey is over 8 pounds... there is no way Rocky can win a fight but he always starts them.... I think females are more laid back and don't fight nearly as much as the males do (just my opinion). They usually give my males kisses... Best of luck with your decision! :) |
I think getting a companion is a good idea. I would suggest that if you can afford it to take them to obedience classes cause they need some structure when they are alone and I think the classes help to settle them down. I can't say that two boys are any better than two girls. I had a boy and a girl at first and they got along great, but then again I'm a stay at home mom. My male is 3 months younger but we had him a little over a month before we got the female who was close to 6 months. Two of the same age might not get along as well as one a little older and one a little younger. I do have two siblings by the same parents but not litter mates. The older one did not take very kindly to his brother showing up at first but it's been a little over 2 months now and they get along fine. It was like he was annoyed that a sibling showed up.

I don't know all the initials but the last 3 letters are to Prevent Cruelty to Animals. You left off the last letter it's: ASPCA. Sylvia |
