Will my New American eskimo dog puppy get along with my other pets?
I’m about to get a miniature american eskimo dog pup. Does anyone know if this breed can get along with my other pets including a cat, bunny, ducks and chickens? We plan on introducing him early on so that he can accept them.
I also have a very old beagle, but he’s met the puppy and they get along very well
I foster 2 Eskie adults and have 5 other dogs along with 3 indoor cats. My 2 Eskies get along fine with the others and they were all adults when they came into the house. There is a way to introduce each to new furry members of the family. Put the new pet in a crate and keep the other dog on a leash. Walk the dog around the crate letting him sniff, etc. Talk nicely to both. Then let go of the lead and let him get comfortable around the crate by himself but dragging the lead. With any aggression by either, you have control. Once they seem to be comfortable (and this may take 30-45 min) then take the new pet out and with your other dog on a lead, take them outside where they do not feel cornered. Let each get to know the other. The leads assure that you can step on the leash and stop them from running, etc. if necessary. The entire process should take about 1-2 hours.
Congratulations!
