...will this cause problems? I know that Siberian Huskies are quite individual characters, and I've been told that you shouldn't keep two dominant males together, so if I was to get a puppy Siberian with another breed e.g. a newfoundland (so they can keep each other company) how do you think the dogs would get along with eachother? Would it be better to get a male husky and a female newfoundland? or both males? or both females? any advice would be great. thanks.

It will be fine to have 2 pups together.. A bit more work training 2 but as long as your committed they will do great and I am sure enjoy having a playmate.Sometimes you can even get them from the same litter.. But if you want 2 different breeds it still wont be a problem.The sex of the 2 dogs means nothing.. However you should spay or neuter.

Siberians are by nature pack dogs, so yes getting another pup at the same time would be great. It doesn't matter what breed, they will love each other just the same. My Sibe gets along great with all breeds of dog including my mother-inlaw's tiny chihuahua and the dingo cross that lives down the road. Getting 2 pups at the same time could be a bit of a handful, but you will get all the training done and out of the way at the same time, and will allow the pups to grow up to be well socialized. I have heard that some dogs do tend to get same sex dominant, however I do not see a problem if they are raised together from a pup. I also have a older Staffordshire terrier female, and there were no dominance problems when I brought home my female Sibe. Have you done all your research on Siberians? They are such a joy to own, but they are NOT for the inexperienced dog owner. Remember that they are a dog that will require huge amounts of exercise (not just running around the backyard), very stubbourn, extremely independent and strong willed, and shed massive amounts of hair when they blow their coat. They can NEVER be trusted off leash, they are obsessed with running and if an opportunity arises they will run and run and run, and do not have good road sense. They will force their way into every activity wether you like it or not! They are not for everyone, but if you love to get outside and get moving they are so much fun. Good luck!

I have 2 pitbulls 1 male and 1 female and 1 Akita male. The male Pit and Akita were raised together and they get along fine. But nothing else stands a chance around them when they are together,

I have two Siberian Huskies that stay with my parents. Glacier a male, and Sasha a Female. I have two Newfoundland Labs Piper a Female and Lander a Male. Huskies are pack dogs as well as Labs. In the Huskies Pack you have a dominate male and female. So if you have a male husky get a female of the other breed or just the opposite. They will get along just fine.
