| How old is Brooklyn? Her age would probably be part of determining what age dog you might want to get.

| Sometimes an older dog will not want to be bothered by the younger or more energetic dog. So if you went older, I would make sure that it can tolerate the energy level from Brooklyn.
I wouldn't worry so much about age, as compatibility. |
| BROOKLYN IS 9 MONTHS OLD .
SHE LOVES OTHER DOGS, I TAKE HER TO PETSMART AND DOGGIE PARKS AND SHE JUST WANTS TO PLAY WITH EVERY DOG SHE CAN. I GUESS YOU ARE RIGHT , AGE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE FACTOR,IT IS GOING TO BE WHO WILL WANT TO LIVE WITH A 9 MONTH OLD PLAYFULL BROOKLYN.......... 
THANKS............. |
| A dog a few months younger would be fine. But you realize it's twice the work for you. Two young, energetic dogs in the house. I'd probably go with a male just to eliminate the two bitch syndrome.
But really think about this. Brooklyn is just being a 9 month old dog....full of energy and testing you about everything. The doggie play park might be best for now.......then in about 8-12 months look into another dog |
How much energy YOU have may be the determining factor  |
| I HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY........... ILOVE TO PLAY WITH MY PETS.
IF I AM NOT TEACHING MY BLUE AND GOLD MACAW TO ROLL OVER AND BARK LIKE A DOG, I AM PLAYING WITH BROOKLYN . I JUST LOVE MY KIDS! (MY DAUGHTER IS 17 AND THINKS I AM NUTS BUT I HAVE ALWAYS CALLED MY PETS MY KIDS ...  LOL...)

| Both times when we've added another dog the new dog has been younger.
That's what's worked out for us. When we adopted Copper it just worked out that way, I didn't go intentionally looking for a younger dog but just a rescue close by ( another state instead of across the country ) and he was just meant for us. Once you start looking the one meant for you has a way of coming out of the woodwork. And sometimes when you're not even looking, they come out of the woodwork. |
