Just because you have had a problem doesn't mean to say that all dogs will behave the same as yours! Yes, if their status is the same then they will have status disputes:if one is more dominant and the other is happy with its place in life there shouldn't be a problem. Personally I think that dogs are often better together: they are a pack animals after all, BUT much depends on the breeding and type of dog. Some just need their own space too much to want to share. Others are much happier snuggling up together. Exercise together some of the time, but make sure each dog gets to go out individually too both for training and confidence building purposes.
