2 females together?

Hii all iv got a female 11 month old staff we also have a 11 yr old female spaniel, been thinking for a while about a companion to go with the staff as we've always had female dogs it seems natural 4 the next 1 to be female aswell.. but iv read on the internet they could end up fighting and others say they get on.. any ideas?

It is better if they are a different sex, but some people on the forum have got 2 of the same sex and they get on. I have only 1

For me, I've heard females can be territorial, I don't know how true this is.
But you could ask the vet or someone at Pets at home, I say Pets at home because we met a girl at ours when Ollie was a pup and she helps us alot.
Although I will boost male dogs, Ollie is brilliant, loving, caring.

Thanks personally id rather have a male with her but as i still love at home makes it bit more awkard x

It's perfectly possible to have girls that get along. But when the girls fight it's usually nastier than when the boys do (to the death versus to there's a clear winner) and once they fight they will usually never be friends again (while boys will generally agree on a pecking order after a fight and stick to it). Of course there are exceptions to this as with everything else, and some breeds are more prone to same sex aggression than others. I just wouldn't risk it, personally. If I was to have two dogs of the same sex I would make sure they are at LEAST 2 years apart in age to reduce the risk of conflict.

I have a staff and ambull and they are both male and they get on brilliantly! So yes it can definitely work with two females it is however advised to get 1 of each sex

I have 2 girls but they are different breeds and there is 4 years between them so I don't know if that makes a difference. They get on fine just just the odd squabble when the older one can't be bothered with the puppy jumping all over her. I don't think I would leave them together when I am out of the house though because of what I've read, I wouldn't want to take the chance.
