Sometimes they get along, sometimes they don't. They key is to figure out
if your dog is a dominant dog or not and if the dog you're getting is dominant or not. Neutered usually doesn't matter much(as far as attitude) unless its done prior to 1 year old. If you're getting a puppy, this will be a task with unknown results. If you're getting a rescue, 9 times out of 10 the rescue folks can place a grown male with your male and get a perfect match. Its easier when they're grown and have developed their personalities. Just because you get a female doesn't guarantee a happy household either. It lessens the chances but it doesn't eliminate them. Do your homework, this goes much deeper than male vs female
