I have 2 girls at the moment, Ruby & Sasha, they are 2 and a half years old. I got them from the same litter (wow, did i have my work cut out or what !)
They are settled now and have a good routine at last.......but we have decided that it is time to add another one to the pack. (my husband wants a full set of cavis) We went to see the litter that we have been waiting for last weekend and will be picking our new blen. boy up in four weeks time.
I need advice about introducing him to my 2 girls. I am sure that ruby will be fine with the new pup as she loves other dogs, she loves to play and has no fear. But i think Sasha will be a different story, she is wary of other dogs and doesn't take to puppies, they are too wild for her.
My sister-in-law came up with her 16 week old shitzu a couple of weeks ago. Ruby was having a great time running round the garden with him. But Sasha, if she could talk (which i am sure she will do one day, she is almost human), would have said, 'what are you doing playing ball with that fluffy thing - he is out of control, i hope he isn't staying'.
it took her ages for her to come out in the garden to see what was going on.....
My other concern is.......my two girls have been spayed, so no seasons to drive the boy dogs mad, but how will our new pup react to them as he matures. Am i going to encounter mounting problems within the pack ! ?
My husband was thinking of having another bitch, but i think although these little dogs are cute and adorable, they are domesticated wolves arn't they? You dont get wild packs of wolves that are all girls roaming round the place, it is not natural.
I would appreciate any advice from multiple dog families...........
I am quite in tune with my pack, i think dog psychology is fascinating, i am sure we will be fine in the end and I know it all takes time, but i just want to get it right from the begining, from the introductions.
thanks in advance for your advice. You all seem like a helpful lot !
