Dogs love to curl up in their own beds. Providing their own beds will save wear and tear on your furniture as well! 

Owners are often reluctant to bring a puppy into the home with an older dog, thinking it may be too stressful to the older pet. Often times the older dog is invigorated by having  the exposure to  a newcomer. In addition,  positive training and behavioral traits can be transferred from the older dog to the puppy as you see below with mature Wrangler and adolescent Roody.
