I committed to purchasing Maximo's brother before they met, but the boys met on neutral ground in a hotel lobby where we stayed the night. It was a freezing cold day in February.
Some other tips: have the dogs on the ground when they meet. Don't hold them. Our initial meeting went really well, but when we went back to our room, Max got in Teddy's face (sticking his nose in his face and running after him) and my father made the mistake of picking up Teddy. The boys were just establishing themselves and Dad interrupted.
My boys are full brothers, different litters.
Maximo didn't have much experience with other dogs, but he did demonstrate friendliness in his few encounters, especially with other Yorkies.
We had to work through some serious jealousy issues with Max, but the boys were instant buddies and they are very close today.
Wishing you and Snickers the best with adding to your family. |
