rottweilers friendly?

Question

we have a new puppy coming up. im afraid that my 5 month old rottie's gonna hurt the new pup.
will he get jealous?

Answer 1

First you must set expectations of both dogs that your the master and puppies can understand just like adult dogs.Second,the rott by its nature is a dominant and protective breed so you must not be afraid of confrontation because its going to happen and allow the puppies to interact as much as possible to socialize.They will establish the pecking order and I'm sure the rott will be first which is ok because in time that rott will become as protective over the new dog as he will be over you and your family but it will take patience and constant training.excercise,discipline and reward.

Answer 2

Rotties are just big sweeties! Since yours is still a puppy, there shouldn't be any trouble. Naturally, your present dog is going to be jealous of the new one for a while. And there will probably be a few sessions of fraternal rivalry, but at their age it's just puppy play. They can get nippy with each other, just like all pups.

You need to establish right away that you are the leader, and that what you say goes! Your present pup may turn out to be one that likes small dogs, and if so, that is great. There will probably be a few small spats until they get the pecking order established.

I was very fortunate that my oldest male Dane loves small pups. When my 6 week old puppy arrived, he was a great "mum dog" to him, and immediately became protective of him. Of course, as the puppy turned into bratty little brother, things changed. hehe!

Answer 3

he will most probably get jealous. The best thing is to give your rottie extra attention so he doesnt feel neglected or excluded. Introduce them slowly ans make sure you done give the puppy all the toys, bowls or bedding which belongs to the rottie - or he will feel like his territory is being taken over and might become aggressive towards the puppy. otherwise all animals can tell if the other animal is a puppy and should be extra gentle and fine with it.

Answer 4

I've seen some incredibly friendly Rotties and they're so cute. You just want to make sure to decrease jealousy that you try to give each puppy equal amounts of attention. You really have to try to be equal in everything (food, energy, etc.).

I know I had concern over how my dog would take it and be when I adopted my puppy. But I learned that spending time with both, giving equal amount of treats for going out, etc. Help the jealousy and now they sleep on top of each other and she doesn't bark at her as much. Good Luck.

Answer 5

no never he might sniff him but the puppy has to know rottie. i have a 6 months puppy never would that happen.u don't have to trust me but u know Rottie is gonna be protective when he gets older of that puppy if not he wont like the puppy n be protective of u n fight with Rottie so u dont have to trust me.but u will regret this.

Answer 6

Rotties can be wonderful pets if they are raised right. Does she show any mean tendencies now? I have owned 3 rotties. 2 were rescues, one we raised from a pup. They were all wonderful dogs. Please don't toss the rottie aside for a new dog.

Answer 7

Rott is quite friendly but only to its owner. Rott is aggressive and protective. so you hav to give him more time to accept a new member. But i believe tat he wont be jealous if you are equal in everything.
