    Yea, we keep an eye on them both when they are outside, and inside she sleeps in a crate. but he wont go near her. he especially hates it when she tries to "suckle" (read chew) from his willy

    Dont allow pup to get in your dogs face (or on his willy!)
    Always supervise them together
    Give your dog an area or a space where he can get away from the puppy.
    Give him time - my dogs always sulk when a new pup is in the house

    The growls are warnings... he's just trying to keep the puppy in line. Just be careful because sometimes a pup can push boundaries and not all dogs tolerate it.

    Out of curiosity, how old is pup? if it was weaned correctly, it shouldn't be trying to suckle unless its too young to be away from mum.

    He is fine with her now. Plays around, he just hadn't been around a puppy before And she doesn't go for his bits any more
