Does Little Missy Foo Foo need a friend

We've had two female dogs, then three females, all toy breed size and "fixed" since they were puppies. We haven't had any gender conflicts between them, but if we had, we would've handled it. I don't think you can generalize like that. We've lost the older two in recent years and now just have our min pin. She seems fine with being an only "child" but we sure do miss the others.

I've got 3 neutered males (poodles)....they all get along and love to chase each other around. If you want another dog, go for it.

Sher, I've had two neutered males several times with no issue, but I won't have two females. They tend to be very territorial. Sometimes they're okay until they both reach maturity. Some female/female pairs are okay forever, but when they're not, it's not pretty!

I'd get a male, to avoid any female/female issues.

Me either, two is our minimum but three works for us now.

I know Bubba(male) is thrilled we have adopted Csepki (male, they have a lot of fun together and snuggle together when they sleep.
Both being males made no difference but I normally agree with getting one female and one male, usually works better.

Our Lab Lucy might be ok as an only dog but she believes, truly believes that it's all about her.

But I really do believe it helps when camping too, when we go out to dinner or shopping where the dogs cannot go with us they have a companion to be with while we're gone. They are after all pack animals and it's much more natural for them to have a sibling, mate or whatever.
