Question Did your babies welcome a new pup?

We may be adding a new baby to our family. I guess you could say it's a rescue. My husband has a friend who has an 8mth old yorkiepoo that they feel they cant train a want to get rid of him. Well my husband knows how I feel about dogs so naturally he said we would take him. However Jada is a very jealous girl she wants her mommy all to her self. What is the best way to introduce them to each other Any advice is welcome

I am in the same kind of situation. A week ago I got a little sister for 10 year old Andy. Andy is a fun, active dog, but he wants absolutely nothing to do with Jillie. He growls at her if she tries to play with him. This is upsetting to me, because I would not hurt him for the world. I have friends who have 3 bichons and he gets along great with them. Do you think he will come around and warm up to Jillie?

We got Jaxon (5yr old Yorkipoo) a little sister 2 months ago. Macy is 2lbs 3oz & is now 8months old-it took Jaxon about 4 weeks to even acknowledge her! Now they play & Jaxon even rolls over on his back for her little fur butt to come and get him!!!

That's so cute I hope that will happen for us. The new puppy is so sweet and playful with everone and everthing, Jada is playful to when it's just us. I pray that they turn out to be best friends.

Well, I think some of it is temperment of the original dog, but also age.

My 2 year old GSD loved Fergus from the moment we brought him home. laid down to play with him, rolled him over on the floor with his nose and was so gentle given the 97 pound wieht difference!

Hamish, on the other hand, our grumpy old man teapot yorkie wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. And I can't say I blame him: the puppy jumped on him, chased him, stood on his back....you name it, he treated him like a littermate. Hamish was not amused. I will say, because of his advanced age (he was a rescue, we figure between 12-14) he probably cut the puppy more slack than he would of at 7 or 8 (when he probably would have nipped him for the transgressions)

But, in the end, you have to let them establish a pack order. In our house its clear: Hamish, Fergus, and poor Dante at the bottom (even though he could easily eat both of them for a light snack!). If you try to step in, disturb that order, you will bring yourself grief. Your pup may end at the top of the pack, you never know. Its about dominance and personality. My big guy wants nothing to do with leading the pack, he just wants belly rubs...while little Fergus is dead set on being top dog, protecting "mommy", and making sure everyone knows it.

Try and stay out of it as much as possible. They rarely will hurt each other, just nip and snap as if to say "back off, pal!"

I can't speak from personal experience as I only have one furbaby. However, I've heard that it's best to introduce the new dog outside of the home. This prevents the current dog from feeling territorial. Take Jada to the park or out for a walk when you introduce her to the Yorkiepoo. Hope that helps! Good luck

REally good advice there as they will work out the pecking order. What seems "fair" by our standard isn't by theirs. I just watch out for really nasty hassles. I've had that with Sugar (the mother) and Pippo her puppy. He just doesn't understand where is place is yet but she lets him know. I have yelled at them twice when they get too aggressive. Pippo is bigger than his mom now and has sharp little teeth. He backs off tho' and they cool down quickly. She is still top dog. Takes time

Thank you for this post. I only have Lacey right now but will be getting her a brother around the 15th. I'm hoping everything will going smoothly. Lacey loves other dogs but tends to be a little much with wanting to play. I got her really early so I had to try and teach her puppy ways on my own. Anyway, best of luck to you. I am sure thing's will turn out fine in time.

I think that time will tell. When introducing them for the first time go somewhere neutral so that dominance is lower. It took Roxie a long time to acknowledge Ryder and after 4 months of getting used to him, she couldnt live without him. Good luck and great for you for taking in a rescue!

I can sooo relate to you. I recently went through this same delima. I have a 2 year old Yorkie and we 'rescued' a Maltese/Shih tzu miz that her owners had given up on and didn't want. Maddie had been our only baby and she knew she was boss.
I had no idea what to do and just brought the newbie home. I did introduce them outside in the yard. Maddie just kept her distance and pouted. It was so hard for me Maddie even didn't want to have anything to do with me for a few days while I was involved with the new pup.
I had several people on here tell me that they would eventually get along. Well, three weeks later, we are making excellent progress. I made sure Maddie got lots of attention and extral love. Made sure to take her along on errands while leaving newbie at home. She eventually stopped growling when Cooper came into sight and they actually play some. Cooper gets on Maddie's nerves a little so I try to always be involved with them while they play. I would sit in the floor and hold Cooper and let Maddie sniff her. Puppies tend to be a little 'aggravating' to adult dogs. By me holding her, Maddie was able to get close to her without her jumping all over her face. I also, always fed Maddie first and didnt let the new puppy get into her bowl, this happened once and Maddie lost it! Cooper is always fed in her crate after Maddie's food has been placed for her. After a good play session, I would give the girls a treat, Maddie first of course. They are doing much better. Hubby and I are just trying to adjust to 'puppy days' again. Good luck! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions!

Great advice here...I, too, am going through this pecking order thing..lol. Izzy is 2-1/2 and love of my life never thinking of getting a second doggie but then along comes Cosmo who has been with us 3 weeks. Yikes...I took them out to the backyard for neutral territory meet-up. That worked out fine. But she is my dominant one and trying to make sure Cosmo knows it. She is mommy's girl and protector and he just wants to play and chase her. He is 2# bigger than her already but boy does she hold her own (I call her mean girl sometimes).

I supervise play and they go at it sometimes bad but I've stepped in a few times only to break it up because I got scared with him biting her legs with his sharp teeth. Each day gets better with them and I have left them alone to decide the pecking order for now.

My only issue now is toy possession...Cosmo is so happy-go-lucky and whatever toy he has Izzy wants and that's what we are going through now. Any suggestions on that one??

Oh and I also feed myself first since I am pack leader, Izzy second and then Cosmo.

So many helpful tips posted here! What did you guys do when you first brought them home if you had to leave them both at home? Would you keep them separated? How would it go if the puppy was crated and the older one was "free"? Also, after adjusting to each other, if you could only bring one cutey with you on errands, would you always choose the original dog or would you take turns? If you did leave them at home, how did that baby react? Sorry....so many questions here....but I appreciate all your feedback.

When I leave my puppies at home, I leave the newbie in her crate and Maddie is free, as always. Personally, if I can only take one with me on errands, I would choose the original, she just loves it sooooo much. However, when the new one is old enough I will start letting her go along so she is used to car rides. I would like to get where they can both come along. As for now, the new pup doesn't know any different than being left at home, but my big girl does. This adjustment was hard enough for her so I try to make it as easy as possible Feel free to post anymore question you have.
