Well, not sure if I am a glutton for punishment, but I have agreed to help my friend out who has been let down.

She has a 6 month old Bulldog (Geeza) and I have agreed to look after him for the day. I hope Caley won't mind lol.

Any advice on how to make the day as smooth as possible. Caley and Geeza have not met before, but Caley has always been fine with dogs and not bothered by them (obviously being a pup Geeza will be more exictable and I will watch out for his nipping).

I told my friend to bring his food, toys, treats and lead so we can take them out, but any tips on what else I could do.

I so hope it will be a good day. Big Grin

Take them for a walk together first or at the very least introduce them for the first time somewhere other than your home. Other than that just make sure to supervise them and if you might also want to feed them in seperate areas in the event one of them is food aggressive

From seeing how well Caley plays in your last vid I think you'll be fine. Smile

However, to make thing even easier it's always best meeting two dogs on neutral grounds, so if possible take them for a walk together before bringing them home to play.

Any first meeting is best done on neutral ground, but I guess this isn't going to be possible for you.

I think you will be in for an action packed packed day but this should be OK so long as you can keep them under control at all times.

Good luck, hope it all goes well.

OK, I have discussed with my friend and when she arrives we will take them straight to the field first for a get to know each other and then bring them home. My biggest fear now is OH saying look we can cope with two dogs lol.

Agree with what's been said, take them for a good long walk before they enter the house together, and take lots of pics Big Grin

From experience!! I would be careful with toys, if you usually leave them laying around (like I do!) Caley may be possesive over hers so I would remove them before Geeza arrives. Good luck Big Grin
