Hmm. Sounds like Shana could really do with a doggie companian to prevent her being too dependent on your attention. You don't want to only be happy if you're there - it'll rule your life!

A little dog would not be a problem. You'd probably find that the little one ends up being the brains of the outfit! That's my experience with little-dog/big-dog pairings! It can be hilarious!

Is Shana spayed? If not (and I know she's quite young), then I'd probably go for another bitch. Age wise, the only thing to consider is that the older the dog, the more immovable their attitude to other dogs (whether good/bad, anti-Shana...) will be. A younger dog won't have such fixed opinions.

Just make sure you introduce them on neutral territory, ie. not at home! Let them make friends before you take the newcomer home. A lot of rescue centres suggest you bring your current dog along before you make a final decision, so that you don't have to bring the newbie back if all hell breaks loose! But as she's friendly already, then it's def. possible!

Good luck! I'm still sans puppy. Money's so tight atm that I think we're going to wait for a while. I need to earn some money! Eek!
