I suspect the upset is due to a number of factors within your home and not down to just one dog so adding another puppy into the mix is asking for trouble. Sounds to me like your enviournment isn't ideal for a pack of dogs (and there isn't many homes that are) so why rock the boat if everything is happy and harmonious now? Shame you didn't take the time to work out the issues intially rather than rehoming a loyal companion.  |
very sensible advice.. i must admit ill tend to agree!
Ill also agree that it is never down to one dog, to a "troublemaker", its mostly always down to the leader of the pack.
if your bitch nipped at your kids there must clearly have been some leadership "unbalance" in your pack and until you can sort it out you should probably stick to the dogs you have as they seem balanced around each other..
