Hi when we got molly last september she was 8 weeks and by the time we brought her home she and harvey had been introduced several times, we used to take him to the breeders to meet her every week as we first saw her at 3 weeks old, we also took a blanket to her really to help her settle when she came to us the mother and litter mates smell was on it, for the 5 weeks before her coming to us i used to take harvey up bring the blanket home leave another one with her the one we brought home with her scent on we laid by harveys bed at night before i was washed it the next day and kept alternating the blankets when we went back to see her.
When she came at 8 weeks we took harvey to fetch her, came in the house put her down praised harvey as he went sniffing her and we had no problems at all, to harvey it was like bringing an old friend home he knew her so well by this time.
