Hello again,
So I am wanting to get duchess a play mate and I have my eyes on a litter due at the end of this month, which means I would get him at the end of December. Duchess is currently 6.5 months crate trained, leash trained, knows obedience commands, and is highly sociable! My question is would bring another puppy into the house make duchess regress if the puppy has accidents? I have heard having one trained dog will make the new addition catch on much quicker. I will definitely get him involved in training right away as I did with duchess. My other concern is my girlfriends chihuahua who is 7 and 3.5lbs. He still nips at duchess if she gets too close to his things or if he is on the couch and she wants up he will nip at her. But when we go for walks I walk them on the same side and they walk in harmony side by side, it weird. I think he's scared of her because when he barks at duchess she gets going and tries to paw at him. She actually pinned him down once before when she was about 12 weeks it was rather funny, but for safety reason this isn't proper behavior. The chihuahua isn't fixed but he will be going in to get neutered in the coming months, I'm thinking this might aide somewhat, but you never know. So I'm wondering how the chihuahua is going to act bringing in another male? Am I wanting to get another bully too soon? Any tips, suggestions, and advice will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for posting so much but I love this site! Lol
