Question:

: I have a 11 month old female JR, her name is Freckles. I just purchased a Shar Pei puppy. I will pick him up on the 7 ..he will be 2 months that they.. I have to go to work,Should I leave them separated?.. Do you think she will get aggressive with a 2 month old puppy?
: Please help me!

Hi Elderwaysh,

Never leave an adult dog alone with a puppy, many adult dogs (including your 11 month old JRT) will not tolerate the antics of a puppy that doesn't know its boundaries.

Please keep them separated when you are not there to supervise, if you don't you could face some real heartache.

Regards,
Marie
