Q: Ok so I have one dog who is three. She is my only dog and she does not play with other dogs or even bark or anything when she sees them. However, she is also incredibly loving. Not just towards me, but towards all other people And stuffed animals. I have no idea why she does this but she licks all of there heads and just cuddles them. I'm just not sure if they are going to get along. Have you ever experienced this or what do you think?
By the way, I know how to introduce them.. I'm just worried about how she'll take it.
Also, I'm getting another girl dog. I heard it's better to get opposite sex, but that isn't going to happen.

The whole thing about oppostie sex really has to do with the dog, my female dog doesn't like other female dogs, but thats just her personality. You need to slowly introduce them and its best to do it in a neutral environment. Be sure to give your dog the same amount of attention, feed her first, and let her know that she is still important and that this dog will not be taking her place. She will probably growl a little at first until she gets used to the new puppy, so don't leave them alone. You may also want to do positive enforcement, such as giving your dog her favorite treat only when the puppy is near her, she will then learn that the new puppy is positive and equals treats.
Also you may want to buy a crate for both dogs, if you already dont have them, so that they both have safe zones to flee to if either of them feel overwhelmed. In the future you may want to socialize your dogs with other dogs, so that adding a puppy will go smoother because they are already used to being around other dogs.
Good Luck :)
