    Puppy... and kitten?

    We have a 4-month-old lab/shepherd pup and I want to get a kitten.

    I think right now would be a good time since our princess may be a little scared of a kitten- which is good so she wouldn't hurt it. Princess is a skiddish pup.

    As far a the sex of a kitten... would you recommend anything for a female pup? Does it matter?
    I was thinking a male since females are a little more prissy but... does it matter?


    Thanks!

    I have always had better luck when keeping the gender of my animals the same regardless of species.  Introducing a male pet into the family has always caused more of an uproar... 

    That said, the cats seem to be more accepting of male dogs than they are of male cats.  Getting a cat while the dog is still young is your best bet for the safety of both animals, though.  Just remember to take it slow and make sure to supervise them when they're together so that nobody gets hurt!  [:)]
