My older girl Callie was an only dog for a long time when she was 5 my mom and dad adopted a yorkie who was a year older and would bring him over twice a week or more and Callie grew to love him. When Callie was 7 my parents had to move in to help with my grandma because my grandpa was in a hospital for months dying. So they lived together for 2 years and loved each other although Callie was a bit bossy with him. I then a bit over a year ago fell in love with a puppy that someone was trying to get rid of and had already had 3 homes so I went and got him(Joey). Callie was not thrilled but after a month my parents dog was diagnosed with lymphoma and after a few weeks had to be put down. Callie was devistated looking for him for weeks. I think Joey had helped her a bit and eventually loved him and would clean his face and everything. In April I came across another pup who they wanted to get rid of and if they didn't she was headed to the pound. Callie again was not thrilled but Joey loved her and they have become best friends lay and sleep all over each other and everything. Callie has come around and loves her now too. My younger ones are 6 months apart so they both have the same energy. Callie is not aggressive though and was never agressive to them. If your dog is agressive to other dogs it could be a serious issue. If your not sure you might want to take him to play dates and see how he acts with other dogs.
