Viking 0 #1 September 5, 2004 Its a little 4 month (about) German Shepperd/Lab cross. No tags or anything but she is clean. We already have a 6 year old Black Lab, Emily. She didn't take this arrival to well as she is very defensive. Do you have any suggestions on how to get emily to accept the new puppy if we end up keeping her?I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacefuljeffrey 0 #2 September 5, 2004 QuoteIts a little 4 month (about) German Shepperd/Lab cross. Sounds adorable! Sorry, no experience dealing with that, here. I bet keeping them in the same house for a while, but maybe in different rooms, getting used to each other's smells would help. Taking them for walks on different leashes (two people, one to a dog) might work too. Have fun! --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Cornholio 0 #3 September 5, 2004 Dude, don't be a dick. Take the puppy to your local animal shelter to see if someone is looking for this dog. I'd be pretty pissed if my puppy got out and some dickhead decided to keep my puppy without finding out if someone is looking for it. They'll let you keep the puppy in a week if nobody claims it.

Viking 0 #4 September 5, 2004 We havn't decided to keep her yet. I just finished making up Lost dog posters and we are gonna put those up today.

Cornholio 0 #5 September 5, 2004 Cool Beans. Yeah, the animal shelter won't hurt. In fact, that is the first place I'd probably go with pictures of my dogs if one of them got out. Putting up posters is a great idea too. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

Put up the signs etc. My lab, Katie, got loose one day and was hit by a car. The guy that took her to the pound put up signs and I got her back. Katie lived 9 more years before succumbing to lymphosarcoma, a very deadly and aggressive cancer. If your dog doesn't take to her, I think my dog, RePete, would. I would take to her if she's closer to short hair than long hair. I still am looking for a buddy for RePete. Let me know. I can also put you in touch with a north SD county kennel that found a home for Cleo, an abandoned dog that I took in last summer. They have a no-kill policy. The owner is married to a jumper. Cleo and RePete didn't get along that well. They didn't fight, but they also didn't play together. It was like having two single dogs. In the longer run, if you decide to keep her because you can't find the owner, give it time. I talked with Doc Sherry about Cleo and RePete. Six months is a minimum to test their friendship. When dogs go thru something tramatic, it's even longer. Cleo was abandoned for at least a week before I took her in. It took her a month to 6 weeks to feel 'at home'. After 9 months was when I finally had to find her a new home. I also have a skydiver contact volunteer that works with www.arfdogs.com. They specialize in retrievers. ..
