| All great advice. Since we were going to keep the new male in the kitchen for now, we'll block off the doorway to the den so that they'll be able too see each other but not physically interact. Although I'm sad to hear that the puppy received permanent neck damage from playing with the older male, I'm glad someone has illustrated my concern. It sounds like a very controlled, long term introduction is the answer. To address the question, no we don't have the puppy now. We will keep the puppy from Friday through Sunday and hopefully be able to reevaluate if this is feasible. Again, thanks for the suggestions and we'll try it out!! |
