We have two dogs..a pit bull and a small mix breed we found at 5 mths old. We were never worried about the pit because we've had her since she was a puppy and she was well socialized with people and dogs alike. However were were a little concerned with our little dog. Not knowing his past, he was a mess when we found him, we had no idea how he would react. It was funny, though, the little dog seemed to take an instant liking to Shiloh and it took the bigger dog about 6 months to really come around to her. Our pit never showed any aggression towards DD, just avoided her.
In regards to how we dealt with them upon Shiloh's arrival, the number one thing for us was to make it a point to continue to show them as much love/give them the same amount of attention they had pre-DD. While we haven't managed to be perfect about that I really think our efforts helped. Also, we never forced DD on them. When they showed interest in her we made her available to them and that was it...and of course any contact they had with her was well supervised.
