Our Ziva was two when we bought Abby home. She was already possessive so I was expecting a hard transition. It did take a full month before she accepted the puppy. Abby was a sweet easygoing dog- I had picked her specially for these traits (not her looks!). The two dogs do everything together but are not lovey-dovey. It made Ziva a better dog and Abby (now at 18 months)is trying to assert her place. Everyone told me to get a male but I really couldn't do it- I have only had females. I think personality is important too. |
