Should I get a female puppy if I already have an older female dog?

Question

We want to adopt a puppy, is it a bad idea to get a female since we already have a 5 year old female in the house? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 4 years and 8 months old | 65 lbs

Male and female combinations may get along better BUT many households have single sex pets and absolutely no problems. The biggest factor is individual personality. I recommend to have your first dog meet any potential housemates to make sure they seem to like each other. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
