    • every dog is different.but make sure that the dog and the puppy are treated the same .that will make the older dog feel that he is still loved and needed.and he will teach the puppy many thing .when you bring the puppy home make sure you introduce them together.and watch them for couple of hours and make sure the older dog will not attack the puppy.there have been some incidents that the older dog killed or seriously injured the puppy good luck
