Will my dog get on well with my grandmothers dog2007-11-25 2:56:37

My grandmother have a 13 years old male samoyede. I take him to walk every day. I got a male mudi puppy. (The mudi is a kind of sheperd dogs, they are very clever, fast and love exercises, they are like a border collies or shelties.) Now, he is 3 months old I want to take them to walk together. Will they get on well?

Answers:

How is the 13 year old around other dogs? If he is good with other dogs, then the best way to have them get together is; when you have them meet for the first time make sure it's neutral territory. That way no-one is the king of the hill. So be sure there is someone else with you and see how it goes. The puppy may want to play and the older dog may not want to and let will him know. If all goes well with them take them on a nice walk. If you keep doing this and they are fine with one another you should be fine. Good luck and congratulations on your new pup;^)

No one can say for sure. Every dog is different and it depends on how well both dogs have been socialized with other animals. Even then, there is no guarantee they will get along. The best thing to do is introduce them slowly and never leave them alone. Have them both on leashes during the acquainting phase so you can easy and quickly separate them if necessary. Good luck!

I think it just depends on the dogs, no one can really predict if 2 animals are going to get along. Get them together on neutral ground and see what happens!

i can guarantee that they will fight in a way to establish a pecking order, and the puppy will probably be low man on the totem pole

It's impossible to tell from here... Does your grandma's dog like other dogs?? Puppies are generally open to meeting other dogs.. It really depends on what Grandma's dog thinks about puppies or other dogs coming along on your walks. I suspect tho as long as he is socialized well with other dogs, and being 13 is a little slowish, he's likely to either like a puppy and enjoy the enthusiasm or he will get sick and tired of the energy :) You know Grandma's dog, you have to decide if he would be suited to be with a young puppy.. A young puppy that can be hurt easily, can be messed up easily for future play with other dogs if things go horribly wrong etc..

You never know. I would suggest that you have someone help you introduce the dogs. Have them both on leashes and meet in a neutral place. Not Granny's or your house.

Since you are familiar with the Samoyed male, you already know if he is aggressive with other dogs. So I would say the puppy will have a great mentor to teach him etiquette doggy style! Don't be upset if the older dog growls or snaps when the puppy is being bothersome, it is the way the older instructs the pup. Only interfere if you see true aggression and not an act of doggy discipline. Hope they are great friends!

With an older dog and a young puppy, they probably won't initially get along. Young puppies have a lot of energy; old dogs do not and frankly, are annoyed by it.

Introduce them slowly and make sure they're supervised. Be prepared for some snapping by the older dog.

They'll get along eventually, but don't expect them to be pals straight off.
