I do not think there will be a problem with a new puppy. the puppy will not challenge the older dog. And the older dog recognizes a puppy as a baby and might snap at it but will not hurt it. The puppy will quickly learn it's place.
That is what the growl is for. like saying I don't want to hurt you, so go away. If the puppy has been properly socialized by it's molther it will know the pack rules.
Unlike people, mother dogs do not indulge their puppies by giving in to them, they teach them boundries and respect.
