Older dog with younger dog??? good decision?

Question

i have a small 9 year old lhasa apso

is it ok for me to get a 2nd dog (golde retriever)?

my dog doesnt like being left alone (when my family is either at school or at work) so i think he will like the company

im a little worried because my lhasa apso might get jelous because it will be smaller..but i will give equal attention to both but i am worried more of this:

What if the dogs dont get along and while im not home the golden retriever (since it will be bigger) gets angry and bites my lhasa apso to death or if my lhasa apso bites the golden (my dog has always been friendly to other dogs and always wags his til when he sees another dog)??? HELP

Answer 1

You probably do not want to put an older dog with a younger one, because sometimes, older dogs find puppies a little anoyying becauswe they have so much energy.  

Answer 2

you have to introduce them slowly and let them get to know eachother and dont show u like one better than the other and for awhile i wouldnt advise leaving them unsupervised
