When one doggie door closes another opens...even if its not the one you expect. Anyone familiar with how adult bassets/pits might interact?
We've added a 6-8 week old pitbull pup to our pack. Student was caught trying to house him in the dorms (no animals allowed) so she threw him out in the parking lot instead of rehoming him or taking him to the shelter. Husband fell in love. He [the dog] goes to the vet tomorrow to determine his actual age, weight, and get him age-appropriate medical care.
I'm NOT a puppy person. Cute, adorable, yes...but a pain in the butt to potty train.
Copper has been following around the new pup (which we've named Chad). All interaction has been supervised. Without warning, Copper bit the puppy in the ear. It bled, but its fine now. I think Copper was upset because the puppy started chewing on the toy Copper had claimed.
We plan on socializing the puppy well. He has plenty of cats around the house and Copper to play with. Weekly trips to 7 acre fenced dog park.
I've never had a puppy in my adult life! Just a little worried my basset will be jealous.
