re: New puppy and old dog

We have a 14 year old dachshund and a 3 year old beagle. The dachshund helped discipline him as a puppy by showing him how, where and when to go outside. The beagle also learned pretty early on that he wasn't in charge. The old man made sure of that. 
As far as companionship, they will be fine unless the new puppy you bring in is a total dick. Ours play together and act like they were raised together all their life but there is a definite hierarchy in the house. If the beagle is at the water bowl and the dachshund walks up, he will back off to let the old guy get some water then go back to drinking. Same thing with toys, food, etc.

I think the hardest part about bringing in a puppy is when the older dog dies, and seeing the younger one mourn.
My 2 were close to the same age. They had been together their entire life. When the boxer died, my jack russell wasn't the same, and died weeks later all of a sudden, without ever being sick prior or having problems of any kind. I'm convinced his heart was just broken from missing his pal.
