I don't really have a problem in that area. Hopefully they'll hit it off!

Do they figure out who is alpha in the house?
Yes
Do your dogs fight much and when they do,, how do you break it up?
Mine don't. Roxy will snarl and snap at Dusty if he crosses his boundries. He has to let her eat first.

How do I make sure both dogs feel loved equally?
I give them one on one attention as much as I can, but it is difficult because Roxy gets anxious if I take Dusty away.

How do I gain the trust of the new dog and yet not show more attention to it over my first dog?
Just give them both equal attention

do I feed from one bowl or two?
I would start off feeding them in two bowls.
