Female Dog: Should I get a male or female dog if I already have a male
In general, choosing the other gender is wisest.

Bringing in a dog older than your resident dog can create tension.
Male Dogs Good: Are two male dogs good together
Before settling on a breed, think about the gender of the dog. For the happiest dogs and the safest household, opposite sex dogs almost always do best together Many same-sex combinations of dogs will fight, sometimes to the death. Those who work out a dominance order may not fare much better.
Dominant Male Dogs: How do you introduce two dominant male dogs

Should I get 2 dogs from the same litter?
