How old is the new boy, Stoney - and do you know his history (eg whether he was brought up in a house with dogs) ?

put a baby gate between rooms, put the dog in one and the kitten in the other.

Give the kitten approximately 30 seconds to be the boss animal in the house.

Be prepared to see the retriever walking around the house with a kitten attached to its tail going for a drag.

You're all set then. Smile As long as the kitten has somewhere to go that the dog can't get to - which the gates will ensure. Retrievers are the sort of big soppy (sorry) dog that will be utterly dominated by a feisty kitten. The only problem you'll have is that they're so boisterous when young that the kitten might get fed up - but if he can get away for some peace and quiet it should be fine.

Just hang around when they're together at the start to supervise.

Have fun.

Smile
