Yes - most other dogs do not like to have an enthusiastic pup getting in their face and licking. They will tell him off for that. If he doesn't heed their warning, they may very well bite. 

 

 

 

Any advice on teaching my pup how to not do that? should i just leave him to get told off by the older dogs?

Are you happy your current dog actually likes dog company?  If he plays with other dogs what type of dog does he gravitate to or away from?

 

Will they be living together or visiting each other daily? If they'll be living together the only thing I would suggest is the first year especially it's best to focus on the individual dogs needs separately.  You don't want them becoming too reliant on each other or totally focused on each other. So individual walks and training sessions etc.   Make sure they can handle being apart for extended periods of time as you never know when you may have to take one to the vet or boarding kennel etc.

 

Will you be expected to train your parents pup too?  Two young animals needing decent individual attention can be a lot of work.  Its nice having two dogs who get along and give each other company though

 

 

 

My pup plays well with some dogs at the dog park but he gets attacked by a lot of dogs for no reason that i can see, esp with the smaller ones (hes been bitten at the dog park by another smaller dog and drew blood). My pup usually approaches other dogs and tries to lick their mouths or go for a sniff and majority of dogs get really pissed off at him i dont know why. If he does get along with a dog they wrestle brutally to the point where i think its a fight but the more experienced people at the park say they are playing, and he hasnt yelped or been hurt yet so i dont think he is not enjoying himself (ive seen him wrestle crazily with a husky, to the point where they look like they are viciously attacking each other, then my dog pees and the husky waits till my dog is finished and they carry on again). i dont want that sort of behaviour though, id rather my pup be more gentle and calm with another pup. they will be living together at least for a few years. He is 6 months and not desexed, would gender be a huge issue? and how old of a dog should i get? as in a pup or from a rescue?

i would hope that my parents train their dog but honestly, i can see myself having to train the dog. their looking into german shepherds and rottweilers, im not an expert on either breeds so i dont really know what im in for.

Hi guys, Just wanted to ask people on their experiences with multiple dogs. I currently have an almost 6 month old amstaff who can be cheeky and disobedient (still training him to behave outside when walking past strangers and other dogs at dog parks), however my parents are now interested in buying a dog of their own. My question is what breed would be suitable to keep along with an amstaff? My amstaff is high energy but quite submissive and he is a male. I think we would like an environment where the 2 dogs will co-exist without causing a scene everyday. Thanks

the frustrating thing is i did try to look up the breeder named on the paper however she only comes up in some dog breeders weekly newspaper on google. couldnt find any contact information or anything. 

I will contact the people that issued the paper tomorrow morning and see how everything goes. As for the gumtree add, i believe its long gone now. I know the name of the person but the ad has been removed... When i got my dog i didnt realise at the persons house but when i went home i found my dog had fleas which was a surprise to me as i thought they would be flea treated.

Hi everyone, im new to the forum here and i may even be posting on the wrong section but i couldnt find an appropriate area on the list.

I bought my amstaff from a "Registered breeder" that i found on gumree and paid the purebreed price which was quite costly. I saw the parents of the amstaff and they seemed healthy and well mannered so i bought my first pup. Finally after 4 months i recieved the pedigree papers, but the information seems to be inconsistant with what he had told me. Firstly the birthdate of my dog and what is on this paper does not match up, and the registered owner on this paper happens to be a lady from melbourne (i made the purchase in sydney and i live here). also the sire is apparently from a kennel that i had been looking at ages ago and i highly doubt the breeder's house was the kennel, he seemed more like a backyard breeder thinking about it now. Also the Dam's colour on the paper says blue and white however the dam i saw on the day was brown and white lol! What should i do in this situation? is this illegal and should it be reported? i love my dog but i still want what i paid for im quite unhappy that i got fooled. Can someone please give me some advice on this situation?
