I just got a 5yr old American Bulldog. He belonged to a friend of mine. He got rid of him because he has a 2yr old baby girl, who would always give the dog hell. He never bit her or tried to, but he was nervous the dog would get tired of it. Well at my house I already have a 5yr old Long Haired Dachshund. I tried to introduce them on neutral ground, but they came after each other. It has been a pain trying to get these two to get along. I am nervous about letting them get together because it would only take one snap from the Bulldog, and its bye bye Dachshund. The Bulldog comes from a house with two cats, so I thought he would be ok with it, but I am really struggling with this. Almost to the point of giving the Bulldog back. Other that that one problem he is an awesome dog though, and I have always wanted one. Any advise here?

i guess i was lucky. i had my first dog for about a year and half before getting the second. my wife took timmy(yes he's named after the south park character) to the vet, and after noticed a rescue team set up near by at the local wal-mart. she took timmy over, and basically let him pick out a playmate. timmy and wally(yes his name is because we got him from outside wal-mart) have always gotten along for the most part, and only occasionally fight over rawhides and toys. they even share a crate during the time no one is home.

Well sh*t. I guess I will just keep working at it until it works or I give up. Yeah the Sausage dog is a real Psycho Bitch, and now with the big ass Bulldog around she is a Nervous Psycho Bitch. Not a good combo.

On another note, Biscuit who is the girl in you Avi?

some things that work when my dogs go at each other, or do anything i don't like. stern yelling, clapping with my hands cupped(another loud noise), and of course when those fail I spank them. spanking is definitely most effective, but the other two methods work well also.

Let them get to know each other in the yard.

Most likely the Bulldog won't bite the hot dog, but he may. The little one may bite the bully, but it really wont hurt him, unless he really tries to.

Have the water hose in your hand, and if they go at it spray them down, they will quit. Do this every day, and keep them separated at all times unless you are in the house with them.

If they are like most dogs, and prefer not to be wet, they will get the picture pretty quickly. Also, be a man, let the hot dog know that he is in your house, not you in his, that will also help.

Just a little update on the dog situation. They are doing much better. I have been taking them on walks together, and I got a shock collar for the Bulldog. Any time he charges the little one I would zap him. We had one incident last night, but we are making progress. The Wiener Dog is just such an instigator. She actually growls and snaps at the big dog.:confused:

      I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though

      Daniel Jeremiah mocks KC Concepcion to the #Panthers 👏👏👏

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
