considering another rescue

There's a rescue online which has caught my eye. A close relative apparently of our eskie mix.

But the queen bee has lived by herself with us for nearly 10 years

.. She'll probably take okay to a male (which this dog is...) rather than another female as she tends to posture her dominance-mostly when on a leash. Off leash, she's fine with other dogs unless they get rough and step on her.
And it would be nice for her to teach a new dog the rules of the house... by example of course.

But on the other hand, she's really not interested in other dogs that much. At the dog park, she'll sniff a bit, maybe run a little with a group, but generally, ignore them all and instead explore by herself.
So, I'm not sure introducing another dog is such a good idea.

Hmm.. what to do?

Just my humble thoughts is WHY would you want to upset your buddy of 10 years at this senior time in her life with another dog?

JMHO she deserves to remain the 'queen bee' and enjoy her senior time with you. :C
