Hi,
You have had some great advice so far... I just wanted to say that Merlin was 6 years old as an only child until Molly came along, it took a little while for him to understand she was not going anywhere and out of nowhere started to play with her... it was the hardest week or so thinking I had made a mistake... he now has 2 more friends and is friendly with all of them... make sure he's your number 1 that helps the most
Good luck

Hello and welcome to YT. We brought our little girl, Izzy, home when Jack was two years old. Jack was the only pup for those two years and it took a while for him to warm up to her. They are not the best of friends but they do get along for the most part. One thing I would add is to keep a close eye on them so your male doesn't hurt your little girl either through playing or if he decides she is just not welcome in what he views as his home. My two still get into little tiffs here and there and I have to intervene.

Good luck to you and your little ones!

Thank you all so much for your warm welcome and great advice. I was really surprise to see so many great replies and advice that came thru after I woke up from a short nap.

It's 3.30 AM here and I'm stealing some short naps in between. Couldn't sleep thru the night coz I'm worry that my little girl (didn't manage to think of a name for her yet) is not used to the new environment. She woke up a couple of time, circling around her cage (I put her in a cage, just to give her some personalize space) and I have to hug her and calm her down a little. I would consider her being very independent for 4 months.

Well, each time when I hug her, Tezel will be watching but I don't sense any aggressive aura from him. He has been always on the passive and submissive type, so I'm not so worth about him being aggressive to her. But I can really sense that he was not very happy and he has been giving me a bit of his cold shoulder treatment.

I feel sad knowing he is not happy but at least now, after hearing from all the mum and dad here, I know for sure he will be ok later and things will turn out well.

Hi and welcome to YT! Give them time to work it out for themselves, but do keep an eye on both....I have three and it took them about two weeks for each of them to be comfortable with each other. They still have the odd tiff...but they do work it out and are friends again.

Welcome to YT. I have 2 dogs and my oldest was 6 when I brought pixie home. I introduced them slowly. I bought an ex-pen and kept Pixie in it when she could not be watched. I let my oldest Daisy take her time getting aquainted with Pixie. It took about a week and then they started interacting. When Pixie was being annoying like puppies do sometimes to the older dog I would put her in the ex-pen.
It took some time bf they started playing together. once they did I always kept an eye on them.
Once the puppy gets older you can try Taking them for walks together and doing things together helps them bond.

Hello and welcome to YT. You already received wonderful advice. I really do not have anything to add. Can not wait to see pictures of your two pups

Today it seems much better than yesterday. Yesterday, Tezel was literally drooling like leaking pipe. According to some article, it was most likely to be feeling too anxious.

This morning, Tezel was trying to interact with her but she gets overly excited and rush towards him. It sort of made him freak out and he ran off to his little bed and wipe his bum on the bed (trying to emphasize on his territory, I guess). Well, less drooling and barking but still, he won't walk near her. Just observe her from far and occasionally barked at her while she in her little play pen.

Hope they will get more acquaintance soon..... *finger cross*
So that I can have a peaceful mind when I sleep at night.

This is the new member of the family, the 4 mths old girl....

Thinking of naming her either Jamie, Bailey or Zoe...
Any thoughts?

Khoojy · 07-01-2013, 05:55 AM

And this is my 2 year old boy, Tezel...
My pride and joy who has been by my side, thru rain and shine...

Glad to hear it seems your new addition will be accepted.
You've gotten some great advice too & I'll add our "Welcome to YT"!

Both of your pups are adorable. I'll bet they will become friends very soon. Always treat Tezel like #1 so he won't feel his status is in jeopardy and baby girl will charm her way into your lives.

It is wonderful having 2 and I hope you enjoy them both to the fullest.
