Leaving puppies alone together?

[LILYgirlandTAKA]

I have a question:
Is it ok to leave my puppies together while I'm gone? Lily tolerates Taka to an extent but if he annoys her too much she snaps at him (IDK HOW TO STOP THIS!) so I'm worried that if they are left together she will get too angry. They do play nice together most of the time until Lily wants to sleep and he wont let her by bitting at her face because he wants to play.
I have been leaving Taka in his crate but he's getting too big for it. Lily is 1yr5m old and Taka is 6m. Any info would help! thank you!!

I would not leave them together yet. When I first got my female, I kept her in an exercise pen in the same room that my male stayed in. He could still visit her, but could also escape her.

I think it all depends on how well they get along. I know I kept mine seperate for several months.

I have very much the same problem.

My new pup Ichabod is XXplayful, and constantly goading My Female Becca to play. He also attempts to involve Her in other amorous actions, which I didn't anticipate until he was more mature (he's just over 6mo now). Glad Becca is Spayed, or I'd have a house full of Pups by now.

Fortunately, I have several large spaces, where I can isolate/separate those two until I get back. I will continue that until Ickey calms down
(if he ever does)

However, when they/we are together, I allow Becca to "say" when She's had enough, and don't intervene when She gives Ickey a good nip on the neck, to back him off. I do however give Her a little pat on the head and say "good girl". She must understand that She has my support in such matters. I am a consummate enforcer of Pack/Pecking Order with my guys. Greet/pet/feed/treats...Sneakers first, then Becca, then Ichabod.
