Give it time. Since your Shaq wasn't around the dam, all he knows is you've brought a new pup into the house. I keep my sires away from my pups until approximately 12 weeks of age. They are allowed to see them through a gate. I do this to insure the pup's personalities don't suffer. At approximately 12 weeks of age I allow sires into their area for short intervals, but really don't allow the pups to run with the pack, other than the females, until they are over 6 months of age.

| Thanks for your suggestion, my husband is really worried, Shaq has been either jelous or he doesn't understand what it is, till now when the pupps came over he ran upstairs, and wouldn;t even look at them, and when they did get close to him he growled at them, he doesn't bite, but it sure looks like he is going to. i am thinking you are probably right, i should keep him away from the pup until they get used to each other. the pup will be 12 weeks when we get him. |
