Question
hello.i have a almost 10 year old female siberian husky.i got her when she was 8weeks old.she is definately an alpha female!i was wondering at what age would be best to get a new puppy, for her to sorta train,i would get another 8 week old female.i know huskys generally live to about 12-15.wish it was forever,.i wouldnt want to stress her out as she gets up in age either.please give me your expert opinion.  thank you

Answer
Get the puppy before she gets any older. Being that she is domanate your best bet is to get a male instead of a female. An Alpha female usually doesn't tolorate other females very well, it doesn't matter what age they are. You might want to try and get a submissive female but you will have to see how your girl takes to the puppy BEFORE you take it home. But my vote is on a male puppy.
Any more questions please ask!
