Female GSD with Female Boston Terrier

[Slayers]

I am looking to get a Female GSD within the next few months and have been wondering how she will get along with the Boston that is all ready in the house.

The boston is a happy go lucky dog and just wants to please everyone that comes around her, she used to walk all over my fiance until I came in the house and now she knows her place.

The breeder I am getting the puppy from has other dogs in the house other then GSD's and I have seen the Dam and she doesn't have much problems around the other smaller dogs.

The main reason I want the female GSD is we are looking to start a family really soon and I hear that females are better with protection of the childern then the males. I just want to make sure that when I am out of the house there will not be much problems that my fiance might have to deal with.

Get a male if you already have a female in the house. Two females is just asking for trouble.

Ditto. Also, just your brief description of the Boston sounds like she could get herself into trouble with another female. I haven't found it true that females are more protective of the family. However, I hope in any case you realize that a rock solid temperament is going to be needed with kids in the house, and that not all GSDs will protect their family.
