Two male or females together - Page 2

From past experience, female/female is the worst combo.  Male/male will work for the most part.  Male/female works the best. 

Female/female will kill each other, if not tightly supervised.

are mother/daughter less of an issue if keeping female/female?

THat mother some day will not care that is her daughter..she is not human..We reason, dogs do not when she comes in heat again or has harmone raises , she can turn on the daughter, just as the daughter when she matures and comes into heat...all games of Jealousy and ALPHA behaviour can come to the surface. SO many people leave their dogs unattended when they get to 2 yrs old..and come home to find one dead.. Females do not know that is a daughter when they both mature into LADY hood.. Males do not know son or dad status when the MAle TESTOSTERONE GOES APE. yr

Thanks for your anwers you all Thats what I thought as well that it would not be a good idea that is why I got a female the first time to avoid truble later ón with my adult male because hé did not like all males and could be very dominant . So I guess that when times is and If I still live in a appartement I will buy a female again because the pup I have now will be an adult male at the time so I must dream ón for a while about having two males until I have kennels one day. Yes I have a crate for one of the dogs now so when the pups alone hé is In the crate and they come out alone sometimes along the day

Yellowrose Hé hé hé dont you think they know their sons or daughter I think so Does it matter maybe not

is the issue of male-male or female-female accentuated more with certain breeds? I have known friends to keep this combinations without issues, however involving breeds which I believe are generally less agresive.

YR I doubt any male puppy knows who his dad is, or the sire knows that they're actually his sons.  

Gusmanda, Some breeds, like in my case Huskies, are more pack oriented than most, but does that make it easier? I think it partially has to do with the individual dog and his/her temperament. Obviously two dominant dogs, or more "alpha" type if you want to call them that are going to have a harder time existing together. A group of passive.....submissive dogs, probably aren't going to have much of an issue being around each other. Every breed has dogs who are crazy hyper, or more docile....just as every breed has dogs that are very dominant, or some that are more passive or whatever else.  And of course, with age/maturity things can change, I think it just depends more so on the individual dog.

But I have a friend that has a male malinois and an older female other breed and she is a terror she is nagging the other dogs All the time holding them at their place The male completely changed when she was put down because of old age hé became much more free and not so much tension and showed his drive and playfullness much more so dogs of female and male can also have tension between them

guess it comes down to how dominant they are, regardless of sex. There is a female husky at our schh club that won't take crap from anyone, male or female, if they don't act submissive a scrap will take place.

Until I lost my old guy in January, I had two males and four females-granted they were/are crated whenever I am not home but otherwise run together-I introduced the second male as a ten week old pup when my old male was seven and never had a problem.  My two coated girls are full sisters but from different litters and there has never been an issue-I do have to watch my five and two year old females-they are just too much alike-but usually a verbal warning is all that it takes to make them behave--now I have a 16 week old female Shep/lab mix rescue with a personality to make life interesting as she matures, but she does listen to corrections.
