Hi and welcome to YT!
I think 5 weeks is really young, too. I got my Roxy at 8 weeks and I still wish I would have waited another 4... Better safe than sorry!
Roxy is 3 months old and gets along very well with our 2 year old Scottie and our 4 year old Australian Shepherd, as well as our 1 year old cat. As long as they're introduced slowly with supervision, you shouldn't have any problems.
I found it helped when I introduced them to do it individually and say in a quiet, soothing voice "Look, (name of older dog), it's a baby! Pretty baby! Gentle, gentle," etc. My Aussie is so gentle with Roxy that she'll just lay down and nudge her with her nose! It's adorable. |
