I have an intact, male miniature Schnauzer not quite 2 years old. He is very friendly with people, and generally likes other dogs (though we have had mounting issues). I plan on getting another male mini Schnauzer in the near future. Are mini Schnauzers generally accepting of new puppies? Is there anything I can do to help him adapt?

Have a look into this question about introducing two male dogs and the linked one there about neutering-helpful or not: https://pets.stackexchange.com/questions/31286/how-can-i-introduce-my-puppy-to-my-boyfriends-dogs – Allerleirauh Nov 04 '21 at 06:33

4Does this answer your question? How can I introduce my puppy to my boyfriend's dogs? – SerenaT Nov 04 '21 at 07:23

No, it was not. – Andrew Dec 19 '21 at 20:33

anecdotally , with a sample size of 2 dogs I know of, Schnauzers tend to actually do really well with other Schnauzer puppies. Their reactions to other breeds may vary. I also found that dogs of 'different' ages seem to get along better, regardless of breed. – Journeyman Geek Sep 16 '22 at 07:29

For anyone interested, the older puppy was never aggressive toward the new puppy. It took a little bit of time for him to get used to his new brother, but after about a week they are big buddies. It was a great choice for me, because 2 dogs can keep one another entertained, and lets me do my work-from-home without feeling bad about not playing with my dog.

Did you see the "alternatives to walking a dog" question? It has many interesting activities you can do with your dogs. Also some you can prepare and they can enjoy on their own when you need to work. – Allerleirauh Sep 19 '22 at 18:10
