My German Shepherd is 13 months old and we’ve been wanting to get a 2nd dog well we’re going to look at Rottweilers tomorrow.. just wondering how your gsd are w other dogs in the home?

I'd wait two more years. Plenty of info on here and the reasons why.

Depends on where you are with your training. Kona is 2 and we are adding another gsd pup. She is very solid with her obediance and has matured a lot. Causes zero issues when left alone and very trust worthy with other dogs. I also have a cattle dog who is 3 years old. They are both very respectful of the rules and are very good indoors. I would def only consider it after you feel like you are at a good place with your shepherd.

The age gap is nice.

I would wait also. You'll want to get a pup with a personality that will mesh well with your GSD's personality, but at 13 months, she hasn't developed yet into the dog she will be.

well we’re going to look at Rottweilers tomorrow..

I have been telling my husband that after our first shepherd experience (our working line is now 15 months and STILL very puppy-brained) that I am going back to rottweilers to have a rest. Puppyhood training with the rotties was never so crucial and was a lot more forgiving. My remaining rottweiler is 11 so we will not be ready for a puppy until he passes and that should provide time enough for the brat to mature too. They are separated when not supervised.
