But after several months they have gotten quite close and she is now comfortable in close quarters with the younger dog. The situation you have is much better than what happened to me. I had an aggressive male who did not like other dogs at all. Against everyone's advice I brought a puppy home when my male was about 2, it did not work at all, the older dog was either mean to me or the puppy or he just stayed under the bed. After about 8 months I felt no one was happy and rehomed the puppy. But situations like yours where the older dog is timid not mean seem to work themselves out within a few months. Good luck and PLEASE hang around more and continue to post more photos of your babies. |
Yes his ears are up with a little help from the clipper.
I trimmed the hair off the back and edges(this is the way we keep Sophie as well) and a day later they stood up. His brothers ears(who is with my parents) stood up on their own, however he too got a clip last weekend, so he looks tidy as well.
That is a tough decesion to give up your puppy. Even though there is no great love for him from Sophie, I fell that things are progessing well. Thanks for all the kind compliments.
