My opinion is the sooner the better. I got Lacy when she was 7 wks old and didn't really think about getting another until she was about 9 months. I thought she'd be happy when I brought Cruz home, he's a yorkie/chi mix. She completely ignored me for almost a week. I brought him home when he was 6 weeks, now he's 7 months and they get along great. I couldn't have asked for better dogs. It took her about 2 weeks to get used to him being around, and probably about another week to start playing with him. Now they're inseparable. I honestly was going to give him back to the woman that I bought him from. I wouldn't have been able to get my money back, but I thought I'd rather have my Lacy back to normal. She was moping around and didn't want to play. She hardly ate anything, she was sad cuz she didn't want Cruz here. Now they eat, sleep, play and do everything together. They're happy little dogs, now I can't imagine my life without Cruz. It took a lot of getting used to for Lacy, but she's doing great now. She loves him a lot and I think she'd be sad if he wasn't around. |
