Introducing puppy

[maxinedavis]

We have a year old bitch Ruby and have gone through all the naughtiness, distruptiness, and general bad behaviour with her, but with alot of hard work and perseverance Ruby is an absolute gem, (still a little naughty) but this is why we love her so much, So mad as we are we have gone and got another puppy from the same breeder and mum as Ruby, who is also female, having read alot of posts about two females i am slightly concerned that they are going to get on, some advise would be helpful, and also on how to introduce them, we pick Roxy up next week.

I wouldn't worry too much about introducing the puppy to her, most adult dogs take well to pups.
I will tell you that the female/female combo is not the best when it comes to being in the same home. Not to say that you are guaranteed problems, but I just wanted to make you aware that if they do - they are usually catastrophic.
Here are a few threads for you to look at:
