Hi everyone, I need some advice and help. We bought our first two Great Pyrs 7 years ago. The female was 6 months and the male was 8 weeks. All went well. They got along great and we had two litters of puppies. I sold my male 2 years ago and had my female fixed and she's been guarding by herself great. I decided to add a Pyr puppy as she seems to be slowing down a bit and didn't want to wait until something happens to her to be protected. My PROBLEM is that she doesn't like the puppy. She growls and snaps when she sees it or it comes near her. She has not bitten the skin but I have only had them together for supervised visits. The pup is only 6 weeks and when I let one of the goats near her she butted her so hard and turned her over and the pup was screaming for 5 minutes. Right now I have the pup in a big birthing stall with some fenced outdoor access. Will the pup and my female ever get along? How do I introduce them and make it work? What age could the puppy safely be with the goats and not get hurt? I never had problems with the goats and the litters raised. I don't know what the problem now is. If you all think I need to sell her and just wait for another pup when something happens to her is a better idea, let me know. I want what is best for my Pyr now and the new puppy. Please share advice.
