Dogs in the same household generally get along if raised together properly. Make sure you socialize them together, and don't give attention to one more than the other, and you should avoid jealousy issues. Keep in mind-dogs are pack animals, and will always be estabolishing alpha status.

Great Danes do like to use their bodies to get their way. Early training can help with this. Considering their size you need to have control over them at all times. Even while playing, just like a Lab can step on a Chihuahua Danes can accidently hurt any dog. They have about 50 lbs on most. I have a 4 month old Dane mix and hes already a horse. He thinks hes a Yorkie though.

Are you saying the Great Dane is only 2 weeks old or that you've only had the Great Dane for 2 weeks?
Dogs will get along with other breeds of dogs along as they have been correctly socialised as puppies.
It's reccomended that when pairing dogs up to live together you choose opposite sexes.

That totally depends on the personalities and how you raise them. They should get along if raised together but keep in mind they are both pac animals at heart and the sheep dog is a herder so you want to be careful that she does not plow into the Dane knocking him over and/or making him aggressive-defensive. You have to be a full time all the time trainer/handler and train them correctly for it to work.

I had a Great Dane for 2 yrs.( had to find her a home cuz of divorce,sob) but she was the most fabulous dog I have ever had, she got along with any pet including visiting pets. B4 her I did have a old english, he was very loveable. A big bear. Sounds like a match made in heaven!!

First off, a "couple" IS 2. A "few" is 3 etc.
next, I HOPE that a breeder did NOT let a pup go prior to 8 weeks old...
Finally, why would they NOT get along. They will be pups together & grow up playing & living in the same house......

yes they are young and being raised together but you wont get any puppies 2 weeks old unless they are orphans or being hand raised. puppies need to stay with thier moms for 8 weeks. when thier eyes open mom is teaching them new things every day. the longer they are with mom the more they learn and the better thier personalities and being social
