Good for you for doing your homework before bringing home a buddy for Bella Donna! When you bring a second dog into your home, the sex of the dog matters less than their individual temperament. Since Bella Donna is a mellow pup, she might do better with another middle-aged or older dog rather than an energetic puppy. Some small breed dogs are little bundles of energy, like most terriers. I think that the most important thing to do before bringing home a new dog is to have Bella Donna meet any prospective new dog on neutral territory before bringing them home. Many rescues will also allow you to foster a new dog for a few days before officially adopting them to test the waters with other pets at home. I hope this helps and that Bella Donna enjoys the company of her new friend!
