Jaz is a male, Tarja is a female. We were worried about having two males (or two females for that matter) together, so we decided one of each would be beter.
Zoeys_Mom - I like the idea of feeding the first dog before the new addition. I can't believe I didn't think of that!

So far, Jaz has been trying to get Tarja to play with him, but it's her first day home so I think she's still a little nervous. Also, we do practice NILIF training with both dogs. I guess I got nervous when we brought her home and people started saying "well, they tend to form packs if it's more than one". I've heard it in the past, but suddenly it hit close to home now that we finally have our #2 pup. I am hoping for a very smooth transition... this should be quite an adventure!
