Compatibility with Pekingese

Hi there,

I have 2, 1 year old Pekingese babies and three cats. The Peeks have been to puppy training classes and are socialized very well. I am considering getting a puppy Rottweiler bitch. How do you think this will play out? I don't see a problem as the new puppy will also go for training and thereafter I will train them together and concentrate on obedience.

I would like to hear your take on this and if you think this is a good, or bad idea.

Kind regards
Colleen







Hi Colleen
Generally if a Rottie pup is raised around other dogs and cats, including small ones, there shouldn't be a problem as they grow to accept the little ones early on.

It sounds as though you are committed to training your dogs properly and are aware of canine behavior and able to anticipate and deal with any issues which may arise, so personally I don't think you should have any problems.

The only thing I would say, is that if both your Pekingnese are females, add a male puppy or if both your Pekes are males, add a female puppy. There is less potential for conflict as a pup grows if they are of the opposite sex to the resident dog. Also neutering and spaying your dogs will help.

Hope this helps, best of luck with your dogs.
