Hello guys! I was thinking of getting one more boxer,since one is never enough :D

Me and my family absolutely love them but getting two dogs under the same roof raises some questions. First of all, the boxer we got is a male one, so I am wondering if I get one more male puppy what could happen? Will they be ok with each other's presence or they will be fighting all the time? Do they understand the Alpha and beta terms in the "pack" that we are creating here? Also how about the feelings of the older dog when the younger one comes home and he gets some more attention?

In the other hand, I could choose a female one,but to be honest, nor I want her to get pregnant or mess with hers and his genitals ( don't know the exact name of the term, I hope you got what i mean).
By the way my boxer is 3 years old, if it is of any importance.Anyways,that's the most significant worries I got in my mind and kinda bother me. Any relevant comment would be highly appriciated!

Thank you in advance!

P.S. Sorry for any mistakes I did but english isn't my naitive languge :devil:

I've never heard of not putting a male n female in the same house, two females is a different story. Reputable boxer rescues will not put two females in one home. Male/male is ok as well as male/female. Females tend to be more dominant.
With any combination I would be sure both are neutered/spayed.

I should add that when introducing a new dog/pup into a home it should be done on neutral land, n to right away bringing the new dog right into the home, meet in a park or on the next street and them spend a little time seeing how they do. Also be sure to give the old dog the most attention (even if its hard with a new pup) so he doesn't feel jealous. Most times people crate the new pup and supervise when it is out of crate. But he time its ready for a little more freedom the two should be use to one another in the house.
