I want to bring a puppy Fox Terrier to home but, I already have one in my house, and she barks and try to fight every dog she see, so do you think it is going to be any problem between them if I bring a new puppy fox terrier home, because I want another dog so they can play together, because my Fox Terrier seems to be very bored and alone when me and my family are not in the house, so please help me!!!

If she doesn't get along with other dogs I'd say not to. But also to make your puppy un- bored you could buy him/her more chew toys to keep her busy.
ANOTHER CHOICE WOULD BE TO...
Buy the dog and see how they get along. If it doesn't work out I'd say you would have to give the dog away, sell the dog, or keep the dog in one room all day which isn't fun for any dog.
JUST A MEANING
Also if your dog just barks (NOT growls) that just means that the dogs are just trying to say "Hi!'. I read it in a book that that's how they say "Hi!"
I HOPE THIS....
HELPS!

You need to be in control of your dog before you think about adding another one. Fox Terriers were bred to run alongside of horses all day long, then excavate or squeeze into fox burrows and either kill or flush the foxes. They are intense little dogs who need a lot of mental and physical exercise, as well as firm, consistent training. Especially if your pup is showing aggression, it is time for professional help.
Start by crate training your puppy to get her under control while you are gone, also sign up for a basic obedience class. Feel free to post questions about any specific training issues you have, I would love to tell you everything now, but that would take a lot more space!
Good luck with your pup!

Is she spayed? If not, that could be part of the problem. If she is "anti-dog" now, she probably would not want to accept another puppy in the house. What happens if she doesn't get along with the puppy?

If you really want another dog, you're going to have to find one your current dog gets along with.
Don't just bring a puppy in and expect great results, you will not get them.
You must introduce your dog and the potential new dog many times on neutral ground, like the sidewalk, the park, etc.
You do not want them to meet inside the house as that is your current dogs "house".
If it doesn't work out though, do not get another dog, you will have chaos in your house.
It's your current dogs decision if anyone new comes in the house, and she has to accept them.

if she doesn't get along with other dogs not a good idea to bring a puppy in the house.

You should do some thorough training with this dog first.
It is no good leaving the two dogs together when you are out if they are going to misbehave. That won't help at all.
