Hi all. It has been a while since I last posted. Anyways, we are considering getting another dog. Asunder is somewhat dog aggressive, mostly toward females, typical female TRD. She has one dog friend that comes over for play dates all the time and she does ok with him. She is a dominate alpha, so I know she is not the easiest to get along with. We are looking at getting a non TRD, one that is a male and not an alpha. Our goal is that getting another dog will help make Asunder happier by giving her a playmate/companion. Also we are planning on having a family in a year or so and I think bringing in a new member to our family now will make it easier to adjust when a baby comes...take some of the attention off her now so it is not all at once.
Does anyone have an experience with this situation? I don't want to make her unhappy and more aggressive. I also don't want to take in another dog just to give it up in the long run. Mostly, we just want Asunder to be happy! |
