Hi and welcome. I'm a newbie too, this a great site, I've had lots of help, sympathy and laughs already in the short time I've been a member. I have a 15 week old working cocker Dylan. Can't help much with introducing other pets I'm afraid as Dylan's an only one. With the kids tho, my mistake I think was to let them run wild with him, which has made him very hyper and bitey.My friend has his brother, he lives alone and his puppy is very calm in comparison. We got him at just under eight weeks, I've been advised that if I'd left him with his mum another week or so he might have been better behaved. Who knows? Love him regardless. Looking forward to seeing pics and hearing all your stories x
