Hi all,
Just after some advice please and will try to keep it as short as possible.
We have three cavaliers a tri-Maisy, blenheim- millie and a ruby- Megan,affectionately known as the m and m's!! They are all 3 years old and love each other to bits.We felt that we realistically had room for just one more and naturally it had to be a black and tan!!After months and months of searching for a rescue we had no luck and a couple of wks ago decided to start to look for a responsible breeder and have a puppy, needless to say our wish came true and we had a deposit on our new little girl mischa at 6wks old.It was just 1 wk before we were due to pick her up on the 5th feb and disaster has struck,I have broken my back in a horse riding accident and now bed bound for at least 3 months.I was released from hospital last sat 6th and mischa also had to come home that day too due to the breeder leaving for a holiday in oz the next day.
My other three girls will just not take to her, as soon as we let her out of her playpen they just jump up onto 'higher ground' to get away from her.maisy my tri who is the boss just barks at her and lets out a low growl,this I can understand as puppy did catch her on the first day with her needle like teeth and now maisy obviously doesnt want to be nipped.I feel so sorry for my partner who is off work being my full time carer and also has Mischa to deal with.I would like to point out that we are not at crisis point but obviously its upsetting me at this difficult time that they are all not best friends and getting along.Any tips help and advice would be much appreciated.Oh and also forgot to mention Mischa will be starting puppy parties at our vets next wk but only for three wks am hoping this will learn her some boundries.
Thanks for reading
