We also have a 2 yr old male schichon and were considering getting another. I was afraid of upsetting our current dog as well, but decided to go ahead and get another schichon. Oh Boy!! Not only was our dog upset, he was downright mad at us. He pouted and sulked for about a month. Then he finally gave up the pouting and sulking and tolerated the new puppy and just went about his business for the next couple of weeks. It wasn't much longer after that the two of them started playing together. Today, they are best buds and even sleep together!!

We have a Shichon who has lived as part of the family for two years, and we just introduced a toy poodle to the family. Like the other commenter said, our Shichon was upset for a couple of weeks, but they do very well now, and are inseparable. He seems to enjoy the extra exercise from playing with the puppy, and is eating and sleeping more consistently. |
