Is it safe to introduce a MALE bernese mountain pup into a home with an 11 year old FEMALE dog?

February 16th, 2012 | by admin |
asked:


We`re gonna be getting a male berner next month (when he is 8 weeks). We`ll get him spayed @ 5-6 months.

Sammy, our female dog, is 11, and has arthritis (and she`s spayed).

We also have 2 cats.

The male pup won`t jump on Sammy because she is a girl, will she?? Will it sense that Sam is elderly and fixed? My parents say it`ll be fine. I`m just wondering :) lol.

Thanks. Personal stories are welcome!

      That depends on the dogs, really. If you notice the pup playing too roughly with your female, distract him by giving him one of his toys and playing with him.

      Also, unless your male is a hermaphrodite, he won’t get spayed. He’ll get neutered. At 8 weeks old, he won’t have the urges to mount your female except in play.
