Mandad Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I have a two year old poodle whose friend died a month ago and we're picking up a 9and a half week old puppy on Monday. Do I let them sleep together and when I go out should I separate them? Thanks. Lokking forward to reading the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**Super_Dogs** Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Very exciting!!! I do not put my puppy alone with my adult dogs unsupervised for many weeks. At first only have them together when you are supervising. When you feel they are getting along well and feel 100% comfortable, then leave them alone together. For some people this is days, for others it is weeks or months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfsie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Congratulations on your puppy! I suppose it depends on the Breed and the individual dog....I have always had my adult newfies and puppies and I always leave them together.My newfies have always taken on the Aunty/Uncle position. Newfies, which I have had as multiple dogs since the eighties, are very friendly toward puppies. I have of course been around them the first few days, but never have i had any issues. But like I said, it might be different in different breeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
