Sharon has given you excellent advice! When we introduced Deja Vu (3 1/2 mo) to Samson (10 1/2 yo) we made certain she did not IRRITATE him. He doesn't feel as if she gets more attention...in fact, if one of the other dogs is getting attention and she is persistent in "me, me, me" then she has some "down time" in her crate until she calms. This has helped to acclimate her to the household...no issues from either older male...but I am persistent on her not "bugging" either of them. She is still a pup...so she has her own time just like the others...I devote special time to each on a daily basis. Good luck...pups are lots of work, but worth it!
