We adopted Odin (who was 1-1 1/2 yrs) just after Loki's 1st birthday. They are both neutered males and have had a couple of "territorial" issues, but are great friends now. I'd say either gender would be fine, if they are both fixed.
The most important thing is to match personality types. You don't want to get a calm dog who hates to play for your energetic pup. I'd say look for a dog around the same age who has a good amount of energy. If you're planning to adopt from a shelter, see if you can take your dog along to meet the other dogs.
