Schnoodles - missing our family dogs

by Matt

G-day

Me and my girlfriend recently moved out into our first place and after missing our family dogs are looking to get schnoodles.

If we got 2 of them would this solve the problem of us being at work from 8-6 every day with them being lonely?

Also would it be better to get a male and female or two of the same sex in terms of getting along?

Are there any real differences in the sexes of the dog?

Cheers
