    I would just like to no whether introducing a 10 week old husky pup to two 8 month old rottweilers would be ok or would you forsee some serious problems with this introduction.

    All comments welcome

    Thank you

    Me personally, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get another pup if you already have 2 8 month olds, especially a breed like a Rottweiler who matures so slowly. The 2 Rottweilers are gonna need so much of your time in the next few months as they go through their 'terrible teens', I don't think it would be fair to introduce a puppy into this at the moment, just my opinion!

    Well firstly I would ask do you have the room for another big dog?
    And do you have the time to go through the whole potty training/ teething process with another pup?
    If you do then great for you :)
    My aunt has a rottweiler and introduced a golden cocker spaniel pup and they get on great, the cocker rules the roost half the time :)
    Just make sure they meet on neutral ground, don't let the rotties feel left out, and I wouldn't leave them all alone together for a good while (that's just being safe with all dog introductions). What gender are they all and are the rotties neutered?

    Yes and yes i certainly have the time for another pup and all its needs:D as i work from home so they will each n all have loads of attention!! plus im willing to go true all the training again :)!! Go go the cocker spaniel lol!! How would you introduce the pup yourself as in how would i establish a ' neutral ground'? They are all male's too

    Thanks so far plz keep up the great posts

    Thanks

    In my experience 3 tends to be a crowd, especially three males and I would consider having the two older dogs neutered before introducing another dog into the group
