Please please please Metal - do not fall into the same trap as many many people do who own rotties. They ARE companion animals - do you fully understand th history of dogs??? dogs are pack animals - that means they roam around together in groups NOT solitary. When they leave their litter mates - you and your family then become its "pack" and everyone lives together - yes there is a "pecking" order but regardless they NEED and MUST have company. I have 4 dogs and they keep each other company while I am out at work - they play (I can tell because they usually have ripped up dog beds and tree limbs etc...) but regardless they keep themselves occupied...

To have a little young pup - stuck in a shed on its own is the height of cruetly - I am sorry if I am not being too sensitive, but I am really getting sad just imagining this poor little guy whining and crying because he is lonely, and scared....

The other dogs will get use to the puppy eventually - When I rescued my last pup - at 7 weeks old - my others male 5 years, femals 4 and 2.5 years kept out of her way because they were trying to figure out who is this thing that has come into our house and is "terrorizing" us... it took 2 days for one of my females to bond - and they bonded wonderfully - it took 2 months for my older male to interact with her at all (now they play all the time) - it has taken 8 months for my other female to allow the pup to go anywhere near her... but everything is gradual and its up to yo to ensure that all the existing dogs are not jealous and are not "irritated" by the pup - try leaving one dog and the pup out at a time together, take the pup to socialization classes... but what ever you do, please please remember that a dog - feels, they have all the same senses a human has, they feel pain, they feel happiness, they feel saddness and lonliness, they feel joy, they feel fear... as humans we know how those feels affect us, please do not treat your dog any different - take care of it as though it was a child to be loved, cared for and enjoyed as a companion... if you wish to PM me please feel free.. ;)
