My family has a small Shih Tzu female (spayed). And we are considering geting an Aussie puppy. But we are not sure whether we should get a male or another female. We have talked to some people and they say that we should get a male while others say we should get a female and that they would get along. But we are worried that our small dog that we have will get hurt. So what should we considering geting a male or female?

There is no rational thinking behind the male-female thing if the dogs are neutered/spayed. It has nothing to do with their compability as housemates.

Either way, your dog will love his new companion.
