dogs live in a pack situation...it is to early to tell if they get along or not. But even if they don't they can learn to live together. dogs live in packs. I just got a new puppy and believe me my older yorkie is not exactly happy about it. Both want moms attention all the time and it can be exhausting. My older yorkie growled and snipped at the puppy for about two weeks before the settled down. But the puppy was in the learning stages...he was jumping all over the older dog and in his face twenty four seven. So my older dog was saying "hey get the heck out of my face" the puppy has to learn to leave the other dog alone sometimes. The play chase and my older dogs sounds like he is gonna kill him with all the barking and growling over a ball but he has not put a scratch on him yet. I think he is just very vocal. It sounds like your hubby does not have the patience to deal with a second dog. Maybe you all should just be a one dog household. I would give it more time for adjustment. It has been a month in my house and they are not best buds but the older dog is tolerating the little one. |
