Hi! I finally got a corgi puppy, his name is Riley and he is now 8 months old. I got him at 10 weeks old and havent been able to come online due to computer difficulties. He's a sweet boy! Tri-colored, and 23 pounds. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Thanks for the details, the best situation to introduce the two would be on neutral ground, meaning the place doesn't belongs to either dogs, so that they get to meet each other for the first time. before you bring the new pup back, make sure that the new pup have his own crate, a safe heaven where he can rest and not be threaten by the other dog. Treat both of your pups equal, if things get out of hand (showing teeth, seeing blood) you'll need to separate them, if they're just giving warning growl, playful nipping...etc. then it's fine. You can almost guarantee that they'll have arguments and fights, that's a part of being a family, but don't favor either one, if the pup made a mistake, let the big dog "correct" him, if the big dog is being a bully, then step in and make things right. Corgis can be real territorial with food, it is recommended that you feed them separately and with different dish. Drinking out of the same place should be fine. When you get the new pup, it is important that you walk them both at the same time, one on each side, when everyone is walking, no one is fighting, and it builds a strong bond among the pack. a tired corgi is a good behaving corgi, most problems can be solved by good amount of exercise. Good luck and feel free to ask us any questions :)
How does your dog at home react to other dogs? how does he behave in the dog park? How old is your dog? Is he fixed? Is he territorial? Tell me more about his current behavior :)
