Introducing dogs to each other
Hi Ladies,
I have two dogs, one is a saluki/beagle mix (1yr), and the other a long haired german shepherd(7yrs). The two have never actually lived together. The saluki lives with me, whilst the german shepherd lives with my mom and sister. We have decided to have the two under one roof, and although i have read virtually every book and site on how to handle introductions, i would appreciate any tips from people who have actually gone through something similar to ensure i know the process like the back of my hand before i face it. Both dogs have very strong personalities, and both have abandonment and jealousy issues. They are well mannered dogs and behave themselves, but i am extremely worried that might change once they start their introductions. Although i am against crate training, i have decided to use this method with my introductions, but would like to avoid the required 1-2mnths of crating my dogs. Call me a bad dog owner, but i cannot stomach the though of my dogs sitting in crates for that long, although i know plenty of people who do it, and its fine. My dogs have been through a lot this past year, so yes, i tend to spoil them a bit more than most owners, and i'd like to not break that pattern with long term crating.
any advice, or even stories from past similar experiences, will be greatly appreciate. I'd especially like to know how common is it that dogs dont take to each other, or worse, have vicious fights...
TIA
