We have 3 bostons here. Ours are pretty good, although they do show a bit of pack behavior. We got all of them as puppies, 7-9 weeks. I'm not certain how two males would react to a female (even if all are neutered/spayed)? Do you take yours to a dog park, thats a good way to see how they interact with other dogs? In our little tribe the male is the biggest, oldest and the most dominant. They all seem to be comfortable with that dynamic. If I were you I would ask the people at the pound if your potential new dog has any food aggression issues - if any of the dogs have problems with food aggression it can get ugly, fast.

On the other hand, friends of ours have 6 corgi's and they're a pack without a doubt. They have a constant struggle for dominance and a lot of fighting and stitches.

Best of luck!
