OLiver is getting used to him after the first few times of, let him down and I'll pounce on him, but Amy is a tad hostile wanting to nip any ideas apriaciated as these guys spend a lot of time together at present we have wee one in their dog pen or vice versa. And yes she is still ldeliberating over a name last night it was Buzby................

It'll just take a little bit of time for them to get used to him.  Puppies have a wild energy that the older ones find exhausting, and time helps a lot.  The puppies settle down a bit and the older ones get used to the antics.   I still have to watch my adults around my babies like a hawk, and they've been here ten weeks now.   The adults teach the puppies good lessons-they learn their manners from their elders, but if they start getting too rough, I just tell them "easy" and if they're too excited, I'll pick up the offender for a little bit until they calm down.  They can't play with the puppies unless they're being *easy*.    And I never, never let the puppies around the adults if they have treats or chews.  Any of the adults could kill one of those puppies in a second and you don't want to take a chance around a valued item like a chew.

What a cutie! Is the other pup his litter mate?

I don't have experience with pups and adults together but Kathleen has some great advice.
Hallie sez: Eat, drink and be hairy
