Becareful, Jack Jack is showing dominance... you better neuter Jack Jack and Prince soon before too late.

Why get another dog? Do you know it is not advisable to get dogs of the same age or around the same age. Dogs need to know the hierachy in the home, with you being the Alpha person. When they are of age gaps of 3 years, they know their hierachy and knows how to respect each dog in the house..... same age gap, sure fight.... can turn bloody and a big headache for you.

If you neuter too late, the fighting will continue and continue till the end of their lives. You just be careful, I have seen this with my own dogs and people's dogs.... it is always not a good idea to get 2 male dogs of the same age gap. The best age gap is 3 years apart.

Hi Crazymouse,

I am currently thinking of getting another companion(male) for my male GR (10mths old). If I get another puppy, their age gap will be less than 3 years. This seem not advisable per your post above.

Here is my question:

1) Will it be the same case if the puppy is a small/medium size breed one? (different size as compared with my GR). Will this lessen the chance of fighting?

2) If the puppy is a female, then they won't fight? If i get a female one, the best age to neuter it will be 6 months? I actually prefer another male puppy.
