We just picked up Winston yesterday. He is 5 months old and weighs 2.5lbs. I also have a 10 month old girl named Sophie. She is very sweet and wanted to play with Winston but he would attack her and now she if affaird of Winston. What I am wondering is how I should handle him. Do you think they just need to get to know each other and will it pass. Please help.

I'd correct Winston if he really is being a bully. Don't expect them to just work it out on their own.

my two acted just like that when they were introduced but now love eachother to pieces. they might work it out among themselves but if he continues to bully her and shows no curiosity i would intervene and teach him to behave. good luck!

Make sure you supervise all encounters so there is no bloodshed! Eventually they will be fine together!

Ooh thank you so much. We are with them when they are together. I would not dare leave them alone, even though Sophie does not want to be anywhere near him. It is funny because we thought she would be the more dominate one, go figure.

We brought Winston because Sophie loves to be with dogs we thought she needed a friend at all times. So I hope that things change and they grow to love each other.
