Introducing Ryder to Hank

[Freedom]

Since they live in different homes, I would not introduce them until Ryder is older, bigger and more settled. This will be Ryder's first weekend in HIS home. You don't want him traumatized of other dogs, big dogs, or anything like that. It is much harder to undo. Your parents can come meet the newbie without Hank.

We've decided to wait on introducing the boys to each other - but he will be meeting Dozer, Buster, and Malley because they get along GREAT with each other. Hank is the only dog I am worried about so that will definitely wait until Ryder is older.

I agree with Sandie. Ryder puppy will be in a new environment, new people, new house, new everything. Let him get used to his new home first imo.

I will wait until he is at least 11-12 weeks old so he can go out and meet Hank, etc. I'd rather wait until he gets used to living with us, too.

Sounds like a good plan!
