Hi, I am new to this site, and I have a question that I am needing some advice with. I have a miniatue dachshund who will be thee in Decembe. She is ovely SPOILED! We ae eady to get another mini, my question is, should I get a female o male? Someone told me that putting a new female with a female could cause poblems. Any information that anyone may have will help. I don't want to get a new puppy and then my little dog not like it. Thanks a lot.

There are cases of putting 2 female together each with a high drive for dominance and creating problems beyond the best dog handle. Play it safe and get a male. With both fixed, they settle into a patnership and usually do fine together. If you just must have have another female, try to get one lower in the pack order. If the breeder doesn't know what you are talking about, find one that does. Please consider rescue. Check www.petfinder.org (http://www.petfinder.org) or http://www.akc.org/breeds/rescue.cfm
