    I agree with Alicia.

    Puppies are rambunctious and demanding... period. Regardless of breed. It often takes WEEKS, if not months, for other dogs in the family to fully adjust to the puppy and teach her manners. It's SUPER important to give the adult dogs plenty of alone time, slow introductions, and a way to escape the puppy if they feel annoyed. It sounds like you took in a puppy who had yet to learn many dog manners, and it sounds like Anna and Rosie are not very tolerant of that, just as they should be!

    It's probably a good idea that the puppy was returned. It takes a lot of time, patience, and work to integrate a new puppy, and that is difficult when people in the family feel threatened or apprehensive. But, honestly, I doubt that this has anything to do with the puppy's breed - she sounds like a typical outgoing, rude, silly little puppy. It's unfortunate that her breed is any reason to return her because, well, it seems like she would have been just as inappropriate for your family were she a Lab/Golden/Aussie/insert-high-energy-breed-here puppy. She is UBER cute, and I hope she finds a loving family! C:
