(I like when they play tug.. It's a healthy game as long as they don't get too rough).
Casie is about 1yr old now and Scottie is 2.5 years old. Casie is a super tough cookie, full of confidence, knows how to chill and relax, and has a little spicy personality. She entertains herself but is never slow to grab attention when she sees Scottie getting treats or any attention from me.
Scottie on the other hand, has always been paranoid and timid since he was a puppy. He's a momma's boy and is always seeking attention from me. He totally gets bullied by Casie's tough personality, but he slowly gained confidence around her.
Anyway, that's my experience. I'd imagine every pup's interaction will vary a bit depending on personalities, but the general idea is that their friendship will take time to develop. Maybe a couple month... Maybe up to a year to get accustomed to each other. As long as you monitor their interaction, they'll eventually become good buddies  |
Hi guys it's Ruger from your IG family. So with your babies did you separate them to their safe places when you left the house? Ruger may get a little brother in March, Ruger will be 2 January. I don't know anything about having 2 babies in the house. Help!
