[enklined]

I just bought a female Rott pup on Saturday. She is doing great, and has already learned "Come" and "No" pretty well, and is currently crate training.

I've had the feeling since I got her that maybe I should have bought one of her brothers too.

Do Rotts do well with other dogs, specifically one of their own brothers/sisters? I would hate to buy another puppy from her litter and have them grow up to dislike each other.

Is it wise to have 2 Rotts? Do they need a friend during the day when my girlfriend and I are at work? Or are they OK by themselves?

This is a big decision for me. I would like to get other one, because I have a feeling it's a good idea so they can keep each other company, but at the same time money is a factor. Mina cost $475 ("Pure Breed" no papers, both parents on site and looked really good). I might be able to get a deal on the second if I choose to do that route. Even then, it'll double my cost of food and health care (for the first year at least - shots, heartworm/flea meds, spay/neuter).

Also note that there are only males left of the litter...

Thanks!
