So my fiance' and I have decided to adopt another pup. It's kinda funny because everytime our breeder of choice has a litter and we're faced with buying a pup, we decide to adopt instead. I just feel that I would rather give a loving home to those that are homeless and chance the breeder can find buyers. We adopted Bower last April and now he is about 10 months old. He is crazy active and sometimes even three long walks a day isn't enough for him. We have been thinking about our next baby for a while but think it is a good time now that Bower is trained, almost We want him to have a playmate, a friend and a companion he can grow old with, besides just us I was searching Pet Finder (the best place to find adoptees) and found a private foster mommy that has a 13month old Boxer boy, and gorgeous! His adoption requirements are that he has another dog in the house to play with, a large fenced yard (which we undoubtedly have) and obedience training. He sounds too perfect to be true! My concern is with his age....I am assuming Bower would take the role of Alpha but by him being a few months younger will it make a difference? Is it better to have two males together or a male and female? Both our pup and the pup to adopt are neutered but I just don't know if there will be any dominance issues. If anyone has any ideas for me I would greatly appreciate it! I am going to try and post his picture but I will wait to find out from his foster mom if it's alright, I don't want to put up pictures of our "future baby" if she doesnt want me to or if we can't get him. Thanks again!
