Congratulations on doing so well with your girl! You sound like a very good owner. :)

Do you have the time to devote to another dog who'll need just as much one-on-one attention and training WITHOUT also neglecting the one you have now? Remember that you'll need to spend one-on-one time every day with BOTH of them, training is a lifetime commitment, regardless of the breed you choose. An opposite-sex dog is the right choice, I just wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to wait a year or two to let the first dog become fully established in house rules and that sort of thing before introducing a new dog of any breed. An older, well-trained and fully domesticated (meaning well aware of how to behave in the house) dog can be a boon with any newcoming dogs, since they'll often join in the training, but two inexperienced youngsters can often lead each other down the path to no-good, if you know what I mean. If it were me, I'd probably wait. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. :)
