Hello,

I need a bit of advice. I am going to be picking up my new boxer pup in a couple of weeks time and need a few tips on introducing her to my older bitch. Lolly, an 18 month old boxer, loves dogs and is very friendly towards others but she is really bossy. She met my new pup, Fizz, at her breeders at the weekend and made a big fuss which was all noise but made me a little nervous about their first intros at home.

I'm sure Lolly will be different in her own home as at her breeders she in constantly fighting for a position among 9 adult boxers and so is always ready to assert her dominance. She was also put into a crate in the hall while the pups were out which probably did make her an extra bit jealous. Does anyone have any advice to make this a little easier as I know Lolly will be fine after a couple of hours but want to minimise stress of the meeting for the pup.

Thanks,
Jen
