Note the controlled environment - the crates and the two adults in the room. Note the continued petting and loving going on between the two dogs and the stoppage of too rough play. Note how we introduced first our own home and ourselves to that puppy. It was late at night when we picked her up from the airport - if it was daytime she would have been introduced to our backyard first.
Male female intros are usually quite easy - males know a female when they smell them. Males are usually hard wired to accept females.
So in essence keep the environment small and controlled show equal loving to both dogs - and then see how they get on. |
There is so much to love about that video. First of all, baby Magic!! Adorable!!! Razzle, handsome as ever. But most of all, I love the control you both have. You both are obviously excited, but you keep it toned down. The pups are excited as it is. You're excitement could cause them to get out of hand. Really, great pup introduction!
I usually do these kinds of intros on my own with the foster transports. But, I love having Kaji around for the lonely drive home, and it serves as good practice to hopefully have him accept a permanent new little one in our home. So far so good!! He always plays nice with all the foster transports he meets. But I do make it a point to have them meet outside in our enclosed backyard. Especially since 90% of the time the fosters are boys, and then everyone feels the need to mark everything.
