It's quite amazing how the ordinal position dynamic is replicated in house pets. At least that is the case with my dogs and a couple of other people, have also reported noticing how the elder-younger sibling dynamic is found in the relationship between their two dogs.
A number of websites offer great advice on how to introduce your dog to the new puppy viz. http://asnpr.rescuegroups.org/info/display?PageID=1804 They tell you how your older dog shouldn't feel insecure or threatened by the new one's entry. Few websites give you information on how competitive your new puppy can be. So Lexie wants the exact same toy that Kiki is playing with. Both are given bones, but Lexie wants the one Kiki is chewing on! It is really amusing and fun to watch the two of them wrestle and chase each other. I hope to shoot a video of the action and sharing it here soon!
