Can My Dog Handle Another Canine Sibling? (Part 2)

Someone who loves dogs will never be satisfied with just one unless the situation tightens their ability to bring home another dog. The moment a dog lover brings home a dog, their first question is, will they get along with siblings?

So if you decide to have a huge canine family, you must do your research because some breeds will not get along with siblings while others breeze through like the bosses they are. Here are some dogs who make excellent siblings for your ever-expanding family! Here’s Part 1, in case you missed it.

1. Samoyed

These fluffy dogs are born to be friends with every animal. They’re like the most peaceful pups on the planet who thrive on companionship. These friendly dogs are rambunctious, and love to have someone playing with all the time! For example, a golden retriever would be great for these pups but a basset bound would be a little too slow for this dog.

2. Maltese

These dogs are pretty flexible and will mold into any kind of dog you want them to be, and this is why they make great siblings for any kind of dog. While they may not be best friends with them, they will certainly be nice to them and be polite.

3. Basset Hound

If you’d like a super chill sibling for your dog, this is the dog to get! These dogs are super laid back and just want to chill around pets and people they love. Having said that, these dogs can be a bit stubborn to pairing them up with an obedient dog will work wonders, as they will encourage basset hounds to listen to you when you need them to.

4. German Shepherd

These dogs get along just perfectly with other dogs as long as they introduced to them when they’re still puppies. An older German shepherd can become territorial and aggressive, especially to dogs of the same gender so its best to get a puppy German shepherd if you want to introduce them to a sibling. Also, they seem to not get along with cats very well, so there’s that.
