New Puppy

Hi

I'm looking to get a Male puppy, However my partner already has a small male dog who is about three yeras old and has a great temperament !!! I'm reading a lot about you have to be careful about putting a male Staffie with another male dog !!!

Can anyone please advise.

Many Thanks

Hi tbh i was always told that putting to females together was the worse combination and the best was a male and female but my female dog doesnt get on with my brother's male dog so that theory went out the window i just think as long as they see you as pack leader i think they should be ok

There are lots of theories but the real test is when they meet. Always do the meet on neutral territory and on lead and slowly introduce whilst walking moving them closer together. You might find they hit it off straight away or it may take some time to get used to each other, just don't rush things.

With a puppy you should be fine but again I would bring something the pup has been sleeping on into the house before you get him home so the existing dog will already know the smell and if possible, meet away from home. Given that the puppy will learn as it grows and should learn some boundaries, I wouldn't think there would be any issue

Welcome to the forum. Pop along here and say hi when you get a min:-

Cant add much more than above, but no reason that they cant get along just fine. As said slowly but surely

Will also be good as the pup will learn quicker from the adult dog as above but feed them and do most things together so the older dog doesn't feel left out.
