| Re: new pup question
I just brought a pup into a similar situation, myself.
My other rotts are not too keen on his presence....they're older..much older.
So, I keep him in one room, sectioned off from the rest of the pack.
They are jealous, and I'm sure as far as they are concerned, he's nothing but a pain in the butt.
I realize that I should have waited until the kennels were finished (I live on 80 acres and I'm building indoor/outdoor runs off of a building on the property...It's gonna be nice when finished but that wont be for a while...
Waiting until spring mught have been a good idea too...there's a lot of ice here this year and it's bitterly cold, which also complicates things....( the building for the kennel isn't heated yet, therfore all dogs are awkwardly in the house.
Like you, I didn't want to miss out...my F. turned out to have bad hips, and I've been out of the show circuit for so long, I just want to be back in...
I guess I convinced myself that I'm 'Superwoman", but....well, I guess even Superwoman had a bad day here and there...
So...IMHO, think long and hard....and if you think you can handle it....
only you know for sure!
