i got coco when she was 5 months. she was (and still is) such a little sweetie. advise about placing a new puppy with your own? hummmm i wish i knew the personality of yours. i usually hold my new baby in my arms and let the other dogs come and sniff her. i don't place them down with the other ones for awhile. i slowly let them play together. it seems to work but you have to go with their personalities. my muffie, she is the mother hen, she always lays on top of the puppies (nicely) to let them know she is the boss. i watch very carefully to make sure she doesn't hurt them.
