They play alike, jumping and hopping at each other. She is paranoid about her butt for some reason. She was fine with our Lab and they played and ate together but maybe because he was here before Belle. After we lost him in Sept. she has been lonely, thought another puppy would be good. Hope it works out and she will accept him. This is his home now too and when we have a puppy or dog, this is their forever home. |
Also make sure that you don't let the new pup come close to her food. If the new one is more extroverted he may try to challenge Belle for her food, and for the first few days I'm thinking that you should protect her bed, food, crate, etc... After they get used to each other you can leave it to nature. I'm going through someting similar; Chuchi just met Papi and Giorgio and they are taking their time to adjust. It will just take a bit of patience and try to prevent showing stress in front of them. Regards from Chuchi (first
), Giorgio and Papi
