Posted by StephanieM on 9/16/2003, 6:55 pm, in reply to "(no subject)" I do rescue and have males coming in and out of the picture quite often. StephanieM

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
