Does your dog tolerate puppies?

[Lyzelle]

Zander LOVES puppies! He thinks they are the best playmates EVEH. It doesn't matter if it is male or female. Every puppy is a bucket load of fun. He tries being a grumpy old man sometimes, but he's such a pushover, and they know it! He loves human children, too.

Goose ended up loving puppies too, though. Here he is in video with Eve and Indy. Drove him CRAZY. He had to make sure they were near him all the time. My mom is narrating.

Nia doesn't have any reaction to them unless they jump all over her, tackle/bite/push her around, then she tells them to back off. Otherwise she greets, and plays with them fine. She doesn't show any different behavior towards puppies vs adults as long as they respect her space.

Lucy and Katy loves all dogs, doesn't matter the age. If anything, puppies are even more fun as they have so much energy!

Todd will tolerate puppies, but will not hestitate to tell them to back off when he's had enough of being poked, sniffed, jumped one etc. He wouldn't hurt a pup though, he just gives them a back off snarl.

That video of Goose was way too cute

Tucker likes polite dogs. He loves to play, but that's after a good sniffing. Most puppies are mosre like DOGGY!!!!! *runs full speed at Tucker and smashes into him, then proceeds to misinterpret his snarling as play* so normally he doesn't like them. If it's a distracted puppy that he can sniff out first while it's busy then he'll like it, but otherwise he prefers respectable adults. I remember this one litle 8 week old thing that came running at Tucker on it's tiny legs and Tucker just started backing up....and just kept going lol.

Meg is great for puppies. She's tolerant of them when they are being good, and gently corrects them when they are crossing the line. I've had several people mention wanting to borrow her for their puppies She also maintains good relations with any dog she's met when they were a puppy - maybe because she's comfortable with the rules they have in place. She's not nearly so good at meeting older dogs she's never seen.

Gusto is great with every dog. He is certain they are there to play with him, and reads them beautifully and plays according to their desires. He's only 11 months, so we'll see how that changes as he gets older, but I'm sure hoping he keeps those skills!

Fudge is scared of all small things. He tries to avoid them and if that doesn't work he jumps to the highest point and pretends they don't exist. Once they hit about 4 months though and learn to leave him alone he's pretty cool with them and will sometimes play.

Taz likes very small animals but when there's more than two he follows fudge. I'm
Pretty sure that Taz is the reason our hand reared kittens think they're dogs lol.

Scamp is amazing with small puppies. He stands and let's them do whatever, he'll play with them and he will only correct them if they're being really bad.

Ozzy doesn't like them but that's mainly because they never seem to leave him alone Nd a certain bratty puppy (*coughAuracough*) seems to think its funny to yank out his fur.

Tika likes them until about 4 months and then she will tolerate some bitches an attempt to murder others. Dogs are still ok.

Seamus loves puppies!



I've dubbed him the 'dog father' because I always bring him around to socialise with my friends' puppies and such. And he's great!

Sally is old and cranky. She used to be good with puppies but now she enjoys her space. As long as the puppy isn't too 'in your face' (which they usually tend to be), she's alright. She mostly likes to be left alone.

Here's Sally and Molly, who was six months old at the time. Puppies like this Sally can tolerate.

Dekka tends to love puppies. As long as they aren't huge and all over her. Bounce and Dash seem confused by puppies, they like them, but seem at a loss about how to deal with them. Kaiden likes them on his terms, he likes to lay out of reach and watch them. Sport loves them but is too rough while they are little.

Mine love puppies (if they are small breed, my dogs are sizeists). The girls do correct. Travis adores puppies. He just wants them on and around him all the time. We joke that he will raise the pups. Not Riley.
