Why not look at a rescue Kelly and then you can try Kenny out ?? Generally speaking I feel that 2 dogs that grow up together will mostly get along unless you believe you have a major problem to start with , if you look at a pup definitely go for a girl. Realistically you can't account for what will happen in later life but I think there is a very good chance they will get along well growing up together. Has Kenny had any instances with puppies or just older dogs ??

My 2 do scrap on occasions as will all housemates from time to time, and it can get nasty over something small like a titbit but they have never done each other any harm, but we do keep them separate when we go out. They mainly play together in a very evil and rough way.
Kenny doesnt like anydog bigger than him, usually older males. He's never shown aggression toward a pup. A rescue is what we were thinking about.

Personally I would say if Kenny is selective over which dogs he doesnt like then thats just a dog thing and you shouldnt worry , my 2 aren't friendly with every dog they meet

If you seriously want another dog, you have the time & finances to hack it, then go for it. I'd recommend a bitch pup or an older rescue bitch.

If you feel that it will be 100% ok then go ahead, you are the only people who truly know your dog.
