Will my dogs get along ?
Okay so I have had a bichon frise for 4 years now and I wanted to get a new dog. But the problem is that my bichon isn't very sociable with other dogs and my new one which is a 2 month old husky jumps in her face and she always growls back. She even avoids her if she is in the room . I feel so bad for buying a new dog. I feel like I betrayed my old one and she doesn't think we love her. I am like crying so much. And another thing to mention is that it has only been one day since I bought the husky. But I really don't want my bichon to feel like I don't love her. And I don't spend too much time with the new one just because I feel so ******* bad. Please give me some advice.

Maybe, maybe not, there are never any guarantees with any two dogs. Most likely Not since you were well aware the your existing dog "isn't very sociable with other dogs". Perhaps you didn't realize that Huskies have a high prey drive, and that the Bichon may make a nice snack....
Genetics determines temperament, nor can genetics be changed. You can't force them to get along anymore than anyone can force you to get along with someone.
Your responsibility to keep both safe from harm by constant supervision, immediate correction when caught in the act, secure separation/containment only when you can't supervise, and if it doesn't work out, return/re-home the newcomer.
Your Bichon is showing natural and typical behaviour and as long as she is not attacking the puppy she should be allowed to growl at it and put it in its place.
Make sure the Bichon has a place she can go to rest away from the antics of the puppy and do not allow the pup to harass the older dog too much.
Do not leave the two together unsupervised until you are certain they have bonded.
Given time the two will most likely settle down and be best mates, but be prepared for the pup, as it matures, to maybe take over as the higher in status.
At the moment you are expecting too much too soon from both the dogs.
Do not take the puppy out to walk in areas that other dogs and people frequent, until it has received all of its vaccinations. Carry it in your arms or in a rucksack.
Your Bichon does NOT think you don`t love her by the way.
You are putting human emotions onto a dog.
She just needs time to adjust to having another dog on her patch.
DO show the pup attention and start basic training with it and do make sure your fences are high as Husky`s like to roam and will get out of low fences when they are mature.
Once the pup has had all its vaccinations the two dogs can be exercised together which is great way fro them to form a bond.
It took one of my females over 6 weeks to accept another female puppy into my house, she would not even LOOK at the puppy for weeks and growled at it constantly, but they ended up the best of pals for the rest of their lives.

Well, huskies are very high-maintenance dogs and this seems like a pretty bad situation. If you're going to be a responsible owner, you'll give your husky multiple long walks per day as well as mental stimulation and training. However, that might not leave much time for your Bichon Frise. And, if you pay more attention to your Bichon, you'll be neglecting a high-energy dog and that will lead to destruction of your belongings.
It seems the best solution is to rehome the husky. It's just not a good fit for you. Next time, it's a good idea to do more research prior to getting a new breed of dog.
I never understand why owners get another dog when the one they already isn't very social with others dogs then wonder why there is a problem. You should have worked on socialising your dog before even considering get another especially a hyper huskie puppy.
A bichon and a husky not likely... The bichon will highly likely become a prey objective for the Husky...... Your an idiot im afraid;: Try a little breed education for yourself before adopting the next pretty dog you come across..... And i wish you great luck in rehoming one of the dogs as rehoming the Husky may be a problem the rescues being full of such dogs. because of other fools such as yourself.
I walked them together an hour ago
and they were okay but when we were coming home they started it again.
have you tried walking them together? taking dogs on walks together is a great bonding experience. Also, try tiring out the husky. The bichon might just be telling the husky to calm down. Huskies are very active breeds and need a lot of exercise. Dogs are pack animals and should adjust.
