Well we finally picked up Dozer (9 weeks) today! He is adorable! However, we know that there will be some "sorting out" time between him and our other Corgi, Midas (2 years old). We introduced them on neutral ground and they played for a little while, Midas being very interested in the new pup. When we brought them in the house, they again played, with Midas kind of showing him that he was the boss by getting in Dozer's face, but nothing rough or anything.
Now Midas has gone into hiding in the bathroom. We have tried to get him to come out with no avail (just by calling his name, no food). Is this expected? For all of you who have multiple corgis and have introduced a younger one to an older one, what kind of behaviors did the older one exhibit during the first couple of weeks? We are curious to see how long it will take for Midas to settle with his younger brother.
We also would appreciate any kind of bonding strategies that y'all may have used for the first couple of weeks.
