Which dog breeds are more likely to get along with existing dogs?
Here at Forever Puppy, we understand the desire to fill your home with furry friends. Our canine companions become family members and best friends, helping to enrich our lives.
But if you are already an existing dog owner then you need to make sure any new pooch will fit in with your existing pets. This means that both your existing dog and new puppy both need to be willing to share their space with another animal.

Are there dogs that won’t get along with other pets?
There will always be individual differences in dogs. Even if a breed is more likely to enjoy or not enjoy something, an individual dog may go against the grain.
Socialisation and thorough training will help encourage your new puppy to get along with existing dog pets. But there are some breeds that tend not to enjoy sharing the household with another pet.
