I have a 10 week old pug puppy "Honey", I just recently moved in with my father and he has a golden retriever that sheds everywhere. I am curious to know if it's okay for my pug to be around this dog considering the amount of hair that this dog sheds. I don't want to have to keep her confined to my room

I think it should be okay. Golden Retrivers are naturally friendly with other dogs. I have a 2yr old Golden myself and he's always playing around with my toy poodle. Be careful though, Goldens can get very excited and play too hard. So when you have the dogs together just supervise to make sure they're playing dosen't get too rough to hurt the puppy. Don't worry about the shedding thing. It won't hurt your puppy.

Hee Hee! Just wait till your Pug gets it's adult coat (at around a year old)...one of the things Pug owners say is they 'shed like buffaloes'.
But, seriously, what does the shedding have to do with them being in the same house? Are you afraid you may lose the Pug under a pile of hair? Vacuum more often!
My Boxer lived with two small dogs before I got him at 11 months old (a Toy Manchester Terrier & an under 12 pound Boston Terrier) and they got along great - he even played 'tug-of-war' where he would lay down & push himself across the floor with his hind legs so they thought they were pulling him. So cute!

I lived in a small semi-detached living house after we offered an magnificent Dane doggy, although we had a danger-free fenced backyard. Inga had lengthy walks and we performed at the same time with her contained in the backyard, a nicely exercised canine does not want a large living house. Golden Retrievers want extra exercising than large Danes and there are not any pups which will be left for 3 hours even as they are children. possibly you should guage adopting and older canine. in case you get a doggy it will be puzzling to rest room prepare no matter if that's on my own for 3 hours and it will be lonely.

almost any dogs can live together. it is easiest if one is female and the other male. i have a weinner dog and a German police that live in the same house with a cat. the German police is 8 and great in temperament. the weinner is grumpy and beats up on him. of course one bite from the German police would be the end of the weinner. but because of temperament this is not a problem for them. two males on the other hand with dominate attitudes is another problem all together. my advice to you is to make sure both animals are fixed. then watch closely before leaving them alone together. 80% of most golden retrievers are easy go luck. most pugs are not. my op ion. but if fixed that really helps.

Don't worry when your pug gets older she'll be out shedding the retriver (pugs shed the worse, I had one...) As long as the retiver is gental with the pug and your not allowing them to breed you should have no problems. If the hair concers you, try to vacuum more often of take the retriver outside for a good daily brushing! Good luck!

They'll be fine. It's funny to see dogs that look so opposite from each other to be best buddies. A friend of mine had a Newfie & a Shih Tzu. They got along great but when the Newfie had enough playing he would put a big giant paw on the Shih Tzu & pin him down so he couldn't move but gentle enough not to hurt the little guy.

course it is, as long as the two dogs get on and are okay around each other they should be fine.
