We have a 14 month old staffy X Patterdale.
Yesterday we picked up an 8 week old border collie. Both bitches.
Older pup seems fascinated and horrified of new puppy. Lots of chasing and trying to fight. Separating each time and loads of praise for gentle sniffing etc.
New puppy is giving as good as she gets. Lots of nipping at dog and chasing her then running away.
Growling on both sides. Some snapping but older dog doesn't appear to be doing it in an aggressive way.
Will this get easier or have we made a hideous mistake?
