OT: I want a White German Shepherd Puppy Dog experts I need an opinion

I want another dog , I have one and he is the love of my life, he too is a white shep and the prince of all dogs. We have had him for about 8 years and he was older when we got him. I would love to get some puppies but am not sure how he would react to new puppies in his castle. Should I bring him to the puppy farm and see if he likes any of them...My boy Smelly was a rescue from a shelter which is how we hvae always gotten our white sheps, I am thinking that a puppy or two might be good for him some company when I am gone.If I get two puppies even if he is not thrilled they can take care of eachother and play and not bother him. He used to have two cats but they passed away last year. I am in a quandry what should I do

My question is this.. is your older dog in good shape?  Free from physical ailments? We introduced a GSD puppy in our home just over 2 yrs ago (got him before we knew I was pregnant with our daughter).  Our older dog has pretty bad displaysia, and won't play rough with the puppy.  She tolerated him around, and would teach him "manners".. was pretty patient.. but couldn't really play with him like big dogs can (and like to do).  The GSD still has alot of energy that he can't expel around her, and it makes him bored. So if your older dog has some physical issues, I'd think about getting 2.. so the puppies have someone else to play rough with.  The older dog can still be the Alpha and teach manners, but the kiddos can get their energy taken care of with each other. Does that make sense?  Maybe?

It make fabulous sense, Smelly is in good shape, he ripped his ACL last Octiber but has healed well. I think that puppies are the only way to go as he has no use for any adult dog brought nto the house. Thanks for the input

First off thank you for getting your first dog through rescue. All pure beeds have rescues. I have had several rescue english bulldogs and with our last rescue we decided after we lost our Samuel to surgery we decided to get two little mates. It was a good choice for us and them. Guienevere and Arthur are brother and sister and are very bonded with each other. The must sleep together, walk together and eat together. They are both very loving towards each other and it is wonderful to see even as they get older they are now 4 years old. They both were fixed at 4 months old.                                                   Annie

Annie,     I love a rescue dog and every white shep we have gotten has always been from a pound. Technically a white shep is a mutant and up until recently could not be shown at fafafa dog events.Suddenly they are all the rage and considered a speacialized breed. I love them and have had them since I was about 3 years old . They are very loyal, protective and so sweet and not very aggressive, some are actually timid.If I could find a rescue pair I would take them as long as Senior Smelly could welcome them.     One of my best friends is an animal rescue driver and will kill me at the mention of paying for a breed.
