The only problems I can see is that both my dog and him are major Alpha dogs. They only met for 1/2 hour or so yesterday, and were kind of funny together. Thats why I want to foster for a couple of weeks first, to see how they work out. He was quite hyper, but that is to be expected from a Husky that was free in the wilderness, to being locked in a kennel, on bed rest from surgery.
Another thing is that he may need surgery on his other back leg in the future, and I want to know the full deal with that as well.
He is quite well behaved when he is not distracted though, and shows a lot of affection.
What kinda mix is it? The eyes look funny, cross bread or something? Also what's wrong with it's legs? Poor thing
They think it may be Alaskan Malamute/ Siberian Husky mix. As for his legs, its called luxating patella, some kind of knee problem. A local vet was nice enough to do the first knee for free, and said he may not need it on the other one. I'm going to see about fostering him tomorrow for a couple of weeks starting friday (I want to take a 4 day weekend for when I bring him home for the first time.). After that, If everything works out I'll put in an application for adoption.
It looks young enough, he might learn his place with your other dog better at his age. When they are grown up it's a whole different story(mine is a wanker thinking he's all "the shit up in this mutha"). I wish you the best of luck when you get him, best advice I can give you is this.

And also, maybe it's just my own but you have to change foods every now and then(my dog gets bored of the same food if I keep giving him it); and he won't eat nuts for some reason. When he was young he'd eat anything, now he's big and stubburn. Also, live with the fact you might never be able to take him off the leash. He'll just approach other dogs which will probably lead to confrontation. But you do have a great trained dog anyway so I think you'll fare great
