Also, what is the best way to introduce them....Trixie is still very very bouncy since she is only a year old....well socialized with other pups, but I want to make sure she is ...I don't know....gentle with him??? This will be her first introduction to a puppy...she is good with other dogs and people (okay maybe a little dominating) What is your advice. I would like these two to get along as my other friends have much larger dogs - goldendoodle and I cannot let her play with that puppy!!
Thanks. |
I would wait until after the third round of shots, if I were you. You also do not want to put her at risk in case the new puppy comes home with kennel cough or giardia, etc. Just a warning to be very careful of your own lil girl, too, until you know the new puppy is healthy.
I forgot to add that knowing most puppies, then you probably won't need to worry about her being a bit dominating. Most puppies dive in head first, so she may well be the one to find a hiding place after awhile.
