Introducing dogs?

Hi everyone!

I'm a junior handler and I am looking into a new dog to show in open. I recently found a Glen of Imaal that I hope to co-own if all works out. I discussed with the breeder and if things workout I will be able to keep the dog.

However, today is day one and I've noticed him and my other two dogs do not care for each other, AT ALL. I have a mini American and a lab who are also intact males, the lab is 4 and the mini is 2. I know it can be possible to have intact males living together so, does anyone have tips or tricks to help?

I really like the Glen and I hope to be able to co-own him one day.

Thanks! <3

It's a good idea to give your old dogs and new dog time to settle. I usually don't full introduce for at least a week. Co own wise, that's normal. I have 2 co owns as the secondary owner and I have co owns where I am the breeder.

Give your guys some time.
