Personally, I like an age gap of around 2-3 years between dogs if possible. This allows you to get your current dog through his puppyhood and adolescence with plenty of time and attention, training, etc. before you add another puppy, but he should still be young and active enough at the age of 2-3 years to enjoy running and playing with the new pup.
