    Question: The OP has said that they hope that their existing dog would rub off on the new dog (paraphrasing) but does that happen and in what format? Is it a training thing in that recall etc is improved with an existing older dog to show them the ropes? It can't be personality as to me, that makes no sense. Anyone?

    I think it'd depend on the pup and how receptive and biddable/defiant they are? Lucy learned LOADS from Bailey - she can do commands that I never thought her but saw him doing it and getting praise/treats so copied him :p I did one or two short sessions on lead work with her before she was allowed out for walks and once she was allowed out she either walked beside him or at his back legs so walks really well on the lead. There's other stuff that never rubbed off on her though lol :p She certainly didn't take to toilet training as quick as he did!
