strong personalities, and these are mature dogs.
Might go fine, or could go badly.
The safest would be on neutral ground with a dog trainer there IMO.
I enjoy watching Cesar Milan's show, The Dog Whisperer. He has a website, also.

I saw that on Oprah...so simple yet powerful!...
Especially when that married couple were at a stand still and then watched The Secret. Now, they have passion again for each other and are so happy. Something as simple as being grateful for what you have, then better things will come. I want to check that movie out.
Powerful statement, WWTx...
Mom, you don't want your daughter looking back in 15-20 years and wondering why her mom didn't protect her. Deep down she is looking for boundaries. Hang in there through this rough patch.
Powerful post, made me cry....Best wishes!
But, lets bottom line this, being as married to the most powerful man in the US
I let her slide in her clothes, shoes, etc. She has a tall brother, therefore maybe her father tall, don’t know about her mother. She carries a lot of clout, no matter how she dresses, wears, her height, and on and on. Don’t hate on the First Lady.
None for mixed breeds willing to help.nm

What breeds of little dogs? The names
are so cute for little ones!
Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure. 
What are your favorite breeds of dog? I will name some of mine SM
Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Greyhound, Ibizan Hound, Scottish Deerhound, Irish Wolfhound, Chihuahua, Schipperke, Dandie Dinmont. . . WOW. I gotta stop, but I could literally go on and on!
How true. It is such a shame for some of these breeds to all
be put in a category of being dangerous, etc. Like I stated in my post above in reply to the Pitbull in the Halloween costume some breeders play on some of the traits of the ones they feel will be more aggressive, larger, more muscle, etc. Then they breed them with another dog they feel has that potential, and so on. A responsible breeder who is concerned only for the well being of the dog and loves the breed will breed only the ones who do not display aggression or the potential for it. I once went to the house of a friend whose dad had a Doberman for years. The dog was there that night, and to be honest I was afraid. I entered the house cautiously to find that the dog was afraid of ME. She had a squeaky toy and lay under the chair all night playing with the toy. She was a thing of beauty. I will never forget her and I learned new respect and to do some reading and research before coming reaching conclusions.
I am a firm beiever that it is all in the breeding and socializing of these breeds. SM
ThePit has certainly had a lot of bad publicity, and the Chow has a bit of the same rupturation, but I have known both of these breeds and they could not be sweeter. However, introducing the two might be a challenge. First and foremost, feeding time is dangerous when another dog is around. My neighbor's Chow/Golden mix attacked my friend's little toy poodle and almost killed her because she walked behind the dog when it was eating. It did not even attempt to take any food or go near the dish. The little Poodle was under the kitchen table and walked behind the Chow mix to go into the living room and that is all it took. If you have these two dogs together I would never attempt to give them treats or food when they are together. Just my view from a good source. Both these breeds are wonderful in their own right, but can be extremely territorial, and food is often what will ignite the situation.
Forgot to say that this is one of my very favorite breeds. So bright and beautiful. NM
