Puppies, robust and otherwise
We introduced dog #2 while dog #1 was in his middle-age years. Ritzspouse stops home at lunchtime to let both outside and we have not encountered any problems.
One note - we are at the point where dog #1 is starting to decline in health and this is going to be a problem because whenever dog #1 is absent (vet appointments, etc.), dog #2 mopes around and refuses to eat. I believe that we are going to have to introduce dog #3 so that dog #2 will have a companion once dog #1 passes. If puppy gets very attached to Displaced Dog, you may be in the same situation in 5 or 6 years because puppy will never have gotten used to being an only dog.
