Re: new puppy and older dog?

hi

we have 3 terriers ranging in ages from 12 years down to 14 months of age,

pip is 12 year old jrt and when we introduced him to out new pup Poppy the border terrier, we had to be very careful as he is a bit of a head case with other dogs but we use to walk them together and watch them play in the garden, Pip soon adjusted to having a new mate to play with as he had been use to my border collie who then sadly died at 17 half. 2 years later, last year we then introduced our new addition Meg the Youngest border terrier to our family, which was a lot easier, pip was use to having another dog around and he was very goo with little Meg, who is now 14 months old and i can see that she is going to be top dog of the 3 of them eventually. I'm sure george will get on fine with a new addition, as Pip was 8 half when i got our first border pup, so he adjusted.

Good luck, what are you thinking of getting, another terrier perhaps, after having had border collies and terriers all my life, think our breed will always be the border terrier, great little dogs, full of love, life and terrier instinct
