I have been browsing the forum for the last day or two,its great to find a site that offers so much good advice.I have a lovely natured one year old girl,shes dog and people friendly and a joy to walk,she is the second staffy we have had the pleasure of sharing our home with( our first had to be pts at 14).I have for the past few weeks been thinking of getting a playmate for Maisy but am just a bit worried that she may be on the young side any advice would be great thanks Scott.

Hi & welcome.

From a personal preference I'd wait until she's about 6 months older, but others have had dogs a year apart & had no problems at all. I think it depends on how much time you have!

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

I too would leave it another 6 months - one year if you possibly can.

Hello and welcome from me and the kids Smile

Personally I waited until Tilly was nearly 2 but even then it was still a bit hard work as she's only a pup herself.

Would it not be worth considering taking on an older dog from a rescue, that way you don't have to wait and you get a chance to introduce them and see how they are.
