Adding a puppy

We have an 11 mth old OES female, Lillie. No other house pets, some stray cats that she doesn't interact with. Lately, I've been thinking about getting another OES to keep her company, but she has been our only pet and not sure if she would adapt well. Any suggestions are welcome. Also would a girl or boy sheepie be better?

Has she been around other dogs or pups before? If so how did she do? If not invite someone over and see. When I got our oes pup we already had a toy poodle 1 1/2 days and they were buddies. Our poodle did get along with others very well.
I know my Lillie is soooo good natured, like the great majority of OES puppies and adults. I have only had 2 sheepies in my life and can't imagine any other breed, both were/ are girls. Daisy crossed the Rainbow Bridge in July 2006. Lillie is our baby. I think my concern includes, will there be any gender difficulties should we decide to get another puppy.

Thanks, Michelle
that was also my concern we are adding a new sheepie to our group and we have chosen a male. We made sure our female was fixed first and to make sure our male is fixed at 6 months. I know our Sami will be ok she will hang and play even with cats. :roll: Our poodle is the boss and I hope the baby oes will not have problems with that we should be ok.
i have 2 females both older i brough it a male pup.. he seems to know his place, you can never just have one. i would never just have one again they keep each other company
they always say you can not stop at one I quess it is true. My mom thinks im crazy getting another. And I say yup crazy about them :lol:

My 10 year old male just adapted to us adding a 5 year old female in about 28 seconds. And the 5 year old moved 700 miles, left her family and settled into her new life just as quickly.

If yours is good with other animals, I doubt it will be a problem, age or sex. Good luck!
I want to thank you all for your input. Owning a sheepie is such a great reward (& responsibility). Just needed some reassurance that I wasn't being greedy by wanting another OES.
