I too have a "mutt" dog, and a young rottie. I was in the same situation that you are in when I purchased my puppy. It has been a year and a half, and we now have a schedule. My rottie and my mutt are fed at the same times everyday, in separate areas. Like yours, Zoey (rottie) inhales her food, while the other one slowly eats. We just let her eat slowly until she is done as she is 10 years old now and don't want to change things too much. She eats it all within 20-25 minutes. He will eventually get the hang of it, it took about a week tops before our mutt figured out the routine.
