question about dogs again...?

Question

hey. i know that dogs can get along (because of personality or just because of their mix or whatever) but how about a male dog thats neutered and a female that's not spayed? is that a bad idea? it would be better if i got the female neutered first, wouldn't it? because when my female dog is around other female dogs, she tends to stay away, and she gets nervous. but my boyfriend and i want another dog so bad!! we want to get a corgi, and there is a male corgi on sale that we want to buy! any advice?

Answer 1

I would get the female fixed first..then, you can get the male fixed before he is mature..

Answer 2

Your female needs to be spayed before you consider getting any other dog. She will live a longer, happier life and you won't be adding to the pet overpopulation problem in this country. Spend your money on this before spending money on the Corgi. If you can afford both, that's one thing, but definitely get her spayed.

Do not get another female dog. After your female is spayed you might consider getting a neutered male dog.

Answer 3

get both spayed/neutered! Female first would be best, cause dogs can smell the "scent" of a dog in heat for miles-and will travel to get to her! If you go on and get the female, set up an appointment to get her spayed before she comes in the first time.

Answer 4

If their personalities (including dominance and subordinance) meshed then they would get along regardless of her being spayed. You can ask the person selling the dog if they can meet you in a park and see how the dogs get along before you decide (its best to meet on neutral ground so neither get defensive).

However, I would have the female spayed regardless. Having your dog fixed decreases their chances of getting cancer, makes for a better behaved dog, and prevents any accidental pregnancies from happening.

Answer 5

concentrate on forming a family instead of a wolf pack., just kidding
