My sister's beagle lives at my mom's house. At first, when Olivia was really tiny, I was worried about Belle (the Beagle) being too rough. Belle uses her paws when she plays and does a "hitting" motion to be playful. One time she did this with Olivia a little too rough and scared Olivia. Since then, Belle has been quite gentile with her. Belle adores her and just smells her and wags her tail. They are more playful outside and will run around and chase each other a little bit. I think that Emma will be able to sense if she is too rough with Winston, and a yelp (if necessary) will definitely get the point across. I wouldn't worry about it as long as Winston isn't too tiny. Beagles are pretty easy-natured dogs from my experiences, so I think Emma will be the perfect companion to Winston! |
