I hope you don't think I was suggesting you would, zaksmum... I just thought, for the OP, it was a point worth clarifying.

No, of course not, don't worry.

But didn't want people to think I'd just walk away and let my dogs rip each other's throats out...!:eek:

we got a male when my bi*ch was about 19 months old, she is currently entire, but he was neutered, she is being spayed in 11 days.

She rules the roost, but they get on great, there will be a fight over chews if they get the chance to steal, so are kept seperate while they have one, but that would happen regardless of sex.

She is being spayed because a neutered male can still go after an in season!!!!!, and they can still tie, which can be dangerous if one of them freaks out and pulls away, so we are not going to risk her havin a season with him around.

In my experience male and female is the best combination, especially if both are neutered/spayed

Ive normally had 2 or 3 dogs at a time and all sorts of combinations. Its really down to the personalities being right rather than the sex of the dogs.
