I currently have a almost 2 year old gsd mix Rocky. I will be moving out of my moms place next month and would love to get a second dog once I am settled in. The only thing that gives me second thoughts is rocky.
He gets along ok with dogs. He currently lives with 2 females that he grew up with but is not always crazy about strange dogs. He is also super clingy to me and can get jealous with some dogs but not all. He is not aggressive but tends to be a bully with dogs who have little confidence and won't stick up for themselves. If the dog is cofident he has no issues with them at all. He also gets better the more time he spends with the dog and the longer the dog is in the house.
I was thinking about adopting a young adult so that i can do a meet and greet to see there personality. I would also like to have rocky meet any potential dogs that I think he would get along with. I can tell from his body language and attitude when meetung another dog on leash if he will get along with them.
I also do have experience with keeping 2 dogs seperated if things for some reason down the road do not work out between rocky and any future dog i get. I was also thinking about maybe fostering or like a trial period with the dog to see how it goes.
So does this sound like a good plan or like i should even be considering getting another dog? Thank you for any advice on this! ? And since he so cute heres a pic of the rock star!!
