I don't know where else to ask this question so I'll give it a shot here. We have a 1 year old female mini-dachshund named Moxie Rose. She's been spayed and has a relatively good temperament, though she likes to nip when playing. She's 9 pounds of energy.
This weekend my wife found out about a 1 1/2 y/o male beagle. He has not been fixed (yet, that would be done) and is characterized as "great around kids." He is up for a free adoption, circumstances with the owner, not the dog. He's house-trained. She's thinking about getting the beagle because she thinks Moxie is lonely when she is out with the kids and having another dog around might mellow her out. To add to the equation, we have two cats - both are 10 years old. They tolerate Moxie, mainly because they're bigger than her... though they have a tendency to hiss at her when she's in her usual playful mood and taunting them. They go in and out The main question here how do male and female young dogs *typically* get along when they're both reproductive system deprived? I know, there are a slew of others including, "is my wife nuts for wanting to get another dog when the one we have isn't fully trained?" and "can cats truly plot to kill you in your sleep for adding another dog to the family?" Those are secondary though. Thanks!
