Hi Lori. One of My Staffordshire is the same. Brodie is a very anxious nervous dog and will growl and snarl at most other dogs he meets outside. However since getting him we have brought home an adult female Stafford and more recently 2 yorkie pups. Initially he was wary and still growls at the pups if they hang off his face which is fair enough I think. It just depends in how you introduce them. I never left them alone together until I was 100% sure of them. Might be better to get a female and one of lower energy than Louie. When he sees that the pup is yours he should respect that as you are his dominant. I left the pups in the crate and allowed Brodie to sniff around it first before letting them out. Then I held the pup at floor level and let him sniff around it before letting it go to explore. He followed her around for a bit sniffing her butt. When the pup gets too boisterous I step in to "protect" Brodie and still do. As long as he knows I'm in charge he won't discipline them himself. If you are the leader in your pack then your dog will accept whatever you bring in to it. Good luck. Ceaser Milan has lots of good tips too.
