[QUOTE=wildann]my six year old male dog does not want to be near new pup she six weeks old lively he has growled at her if she comes within two feet of him and he twice snapped at her i know he jealous......QUOTE]

Has your 6 yr dog been around other types of dogs before, and how well does he get along with them. If he play well with all types of other dogs - then it should be fine, he's setting limits and boundries on pup. If he does not play well with other dogs and growls also at them, then you have a problem and need to work on it right away. Do NOT leave them alone together till the situation is fixed.
