hi
i'm going to intro Maisie and Mr Fairweather to each other tonight.
Their dog crates have been side by side for two weeks and they both seem pretty ok, they don't take much notice of each other(cages are three inches apart)but they often sit near each other.
i've let them have a few hours at a time in each others cages to get used to the smells etc as well.
i plan to let them spend a few hours in the bathroom meeting and provided they don't fight i would then like to put them back in my spare room....i will have removed both dog crates by then and would like to put them in the run in the room they have both lived in...i will be putting brand new vinyl flooring under the run in a double layer so no smells and they will be the opposite end of the room.......this is all provided they like each other.
supposing they do seem to like each other does my plan seem ok or can anyone see pitfalls, also realistically i cannot watch them for the entire weekend without a break as i have my five dogs to walk etc so are they likely to be safe and also are there key times when they would be more likely to fight?
thanks for your help xx
