Recommended age to add a second doodle?

[Nicholas Bushey]

My mini Goldendoodle, Charlotte, is now 8 months (17 pounds and spayed) and we would like to add another doodle to the family.  Any suggestions as to the best time to do this?  She is an absolute sweet heart that is house-broken and has a strong grasp of commands.  She is very friendly and does well with other dogs of all ages.  Additionally I have heard that introducing a male may be better.  Ideally I would like to add smaller male to the mix.  Any input/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Nick

My Sasha was 10 months old when I got my Oliver and they are best buds.   I think the younger the dog the better.. puppies love and want to play with everyone :)

The ONE THING I didn't think about when getting a second Goldendoodle, is how much room they would take up in my Vehicle!!!! LOL...I have to standard size Doodles and had to trade my crossover in for an SUV!!! Good thing My Husband LOVES Dogs and is easy Going~

Wow! I have a 10 month old cream standard 70 pound goldendoodle from a breeder and have just added a rescue four month old chocolate standard goldendoodle with health issues. It's very very hard work. However, within hours and not days, they were joined at the hip! They love each other and it is a pleasure that I cannot begin to describe to watch them play and have so much fun together. In hind site I would have got two from the start due to the efforts of house training an training in general as they distract each other. But I say go for it!!!!
