new sheep dog
i was wondering with some advice regarding the following i do have a 4yrs old female OES and a 4yrs old labrador. both are very friendly with other dogs.. 2 yrs ago the female had puppies and now , one actual owner told me that his daughter develloped some sort of allergy so i have to take back that dog ( also a female) do you think it will be a problem for a 2 yrs old female to come live with her mom and the lab?.. any suggestions thanks |

| No. Not at all. I have multiple generations. Mind you, most grew up together. Although my ten year old came home to live with "mommy" when she was about seven and mom was ten and they still love each other.  If all dogs are good with other dogs there's really no reason to expect there will be a problem. There could be some minor squabbling if they feel the need to work out rank, but unless it gets serious (most squabbling is a lot of noise and nothing else) there's no reason to get worked up about it. It should be fine. Kristine |
Ditto to what Mad dog said.  Just another bit of preliminary preventative advice, when she is in your home while settling in, feed seperately her away from the others and take up the food bowl and dont allow any of them to sniff each others bowls after a feed. This is to work out if any problems might exist as far as causing food agression. Same with toys too, only a few out for the others and give her, her own till later down the track. When she comes home, lead and greetings for her & the others outside then take it from there as to how the others accept her and same for inside till you work out how all the gang is interacting with each other. It should not be a problem especially being mother and daughter but take slow steps firstly till she settles in to guard against any problems with intergrating her into the household with the others Slow and steady, if there is a bit of an altercation with the others when she arrives that is OK too or even after a few days when she is home, only intervene if getting serious, multiple dogs in a house, have to sort out who rules and I am sure her momma will recognise her daughter and the transition of her being there will go OK. Outside play keep it seperate for awhile till you see how they are all together. Best wishes and keep us up to date with how it all goes |
