Question
Hello.  My wife and I own a male One year and 8 month old English bulldog and just two days ago added a second dog.  The puppy is a 10 week old male English bulldog.  We have gotten a great deal of information from the breeder on how to introduce the dogs and get them acquainted.  So far so good, but if there is any additional information you could be provide that would be great.  I contacted you when we got our first dog and you provided great packets of information about house training, etc.  We look forward to any tips and advice you can offer to ease that transition and help us create a balanced pack.  Thank You

Answer
Hello Jesse:  First thing, make sure the older 8 month old bullie gets plenty of attention from you.  Also, make sure you give him his alone time with you.  ( special play and tug-o-war without the new baby)

As for the new kid, make sure they get plenty of together time and plenty of time without each other.  The pup will require lots of play but also a bunch of sleep.  Also, the new baby may become a "pain" to the 8 month old bullie kid.
