I have a 4 year old male pomeranian/shelty cross - weighs approximatly 20 pounds, and IS neutered. I have had this dog for about 2 years.
I want to get another dog, a 2 year old, male pomeranian pekingese cross weighs about 7 pounds. This dog IS also neutered
Are these 2 okay to live ith eachother?-- I hav checked with the curent owner of the new dog I want to get, and it gets along no problem with other dogs

before you bring the dog home to your dogs territory, meet up with the other dog and its current owners so you can introduce the dogs in a neutral area. not your dogs home not the other dogs current home. if they get along well then go for it. check out this article from the ASPCA on how to properly introduce a new dog into your home with an already established dog

Sure. I have a German Spitz and they are closely related to the Pomeranian dogs and if your dog has the temperament that my dog HAD when my boyfriend and I moved in together that of which my dogs first reaction was extreme loyalty to me and she was very territorial. I advise you to slowly introduce the new dog to your current dog. You will probably have to heavily supervise their meet because they will go through the dog dominance thing to establish which will be in charge of the two of them as they will now become a "pack" and there is ALWAYS a leader in a pack. They will probably have small spats over toys, treats, walks etc. Give it some time, allow some disagreements but it'll be just fine.

Sure why not? Tip: introduce them to eachother in a neutral location, i.e., not your house. Then, get them walking together, which will trigger their pack instinct. Walk for at least an hour, then bring your new guy home. A tired dog is a good dog, and first impressions are very important!

it depends on the dogs is it possible to meet somewhere to introduce the two dogs. If posssible a park or something
try to introduce them slowly.
Teh other thing I would do is if possible put your dog outside so the new dog can get it's smell in the house I find this lets your other dog know it is accepted by you
just introduce slowly.
You should be fine

He wasn't super enormous or something yet he grew to become into smart loving and extremely careful of persons he did not comprehend coming around me. he stay dtill he grew to become into 11 it could have been longer yet he have been given heart disiense advert i had to place him down :( yet he grew to become into nevertheless impressive dogs

when i did this, it took about a year for my lhasa apso to tolerate my aussie shepherd... it totally depends on how the like each other and how they get along. The initial meeting should be in a park or some other neutral area to let them get to know each other.
Make sure you give the 4 yr. old extra attention.
Good luck!

they can learn to live with eachother in time. But its your dog who is gonna put up a stink for a while. That is HIS house and you are bringing something else in. Introduce them slowly. There will be jelousy there. Or maybe you wont have any problems at all, but i doubt that

The breeds have nothing to do with it. It matters how both have been socialized when they were pups. Introduce them to each other slowly. It shoudl work out
