Companion Dogs

If you and your dog are used to the company of other dogs, then there will be no problem introducing a young dog to an old dog, only if you take the right precautions. The old dog will most likely enjoy the company of another dog, and the young dog will be happy to have a dog to follow as an example and protect him. Puppies love to meet adult dogs when they enter a new home. 

Azul, my neighbor's new puppy, sits for hours staring at Andra through a hole. While Andra completes instructive tasks, Azul stares at her attentively, filled with excitement and wagging his tail anxiously. His admiration for his Andra is indescribable. For Azul, there is nothing better than to go out for a walk with his beloved neighbor. Andra, from her part, only needs to warn him once to not repeat a gesture she does not approve of. This lovely relationship ends in the back door of my house. Every time Azul shows the smallest intention of entering our house, Andra intervenes decisively. Only my authoritarian voice can grant Azul the permission to enter.

You should try and reflect about the risk that a puppy could demand physically of your old dog. Take into account that your new dog, despite his respect for your old dog, can be too hyperactive and become a danger to him. Similarly, your old dog could play with your puppy and mistakenly hurt him. You should seriously think about this and consider the difference in size and strength. Naturally, you might think this is absurd. In a dog's savage state, new members join the pack, and gain or lose a position in the hierarchy of the group. Perhaps it may be like that, but since dogs have stopped living in a wild state, a lot has changed. Unfortunately, our dogs no longer possess all the characteristics of their ancestors or they would have no problem living amongst each other. The Third Age
