my rotty is well trained and she has had 15 pups of her own when she was young.
she can be aggressive but not toward the
pup. If another animal gets near the pup
sasha gets upset. so far so good and she does let the pup know who the alph-dog is. I think its great for a rotty and a lap-dog so small get along so well. At first I was not so sure now I am positive
that these two will be the best of friends.
Thank-you for your answers and have a wonderful day. z-peach

Not at all. Dogs are pack animals. Enjoy it!

no if your rottie is well socialized and secure in it's home there shouldn't be many problems. you will eventually encounter what you perceive to be a snip here or there, it's just your rottie showing the pup how to be a dog in this house. if there is a tiff correct the pup first. it's the newcomer in the house and needs to learn pecking order and not challenge it, if the older dog is out of line correct the rottie, but sounds like so far so good, just let them be in whatever you're doing because it's working. make sure you show affection equally to both dogs, feed them seperate and make sure they either share toys that are suitable for both of them. happy well balanced dogs usually don't have many issues with a new puppy. good luck, and be happy.

Your rotty seems to have a mothering instinct coming out with the new puppy in the house. That is very normal with former mothers.Take them getting along as a GOOD thing. Its better than fighting or agression.

No because your new puppy is not a threat to your rotty, and your rotty knows that. This is great news! Congratulations!

Not at all.. She is secure that she is the dominate dog.. So she has no problem being friendly with the pup.

No... Dogs are very intuitive and compassionate. Most people don't understand the natural loving nature that is instinctive in most dogs.
