YO GEORGIANS! :)

Is your dog a male? Don't just bring the new dog into the yard, introduce in a neutral "fun relaxed environment". Even if they get along be careful about "resources" when bringing them into your home.

Consider baby steps as in crates and dogs see each other but don't have the opportunity to fight. Hate to be paranoid here but I have integrated MANY aggressive breed dogs and it isn't something to take lightly. If they seem to get along (two males, or two females if they are both of the same gender) be EXTREMELY careful regarding food and treats for at least 3 weeks.

I am probably talking to the wall here but I am a dog lover and have done rescue for many years, Rhodesian Ridgebacks can be aggressive and folks need to be prepared when introducing a dog.
Great ideas. I do rescue too. We just had to have one of our rescue's put down this week. :( he was aggressive toward my dog, all other animals and recently opened a farm gate(while i was 10 feet away), that my kids can't open and tried to attack the neighbors horse. This last week he would pace the fence looking for a way out, went after our chickens, who were in the run.... A lot more to it, but it wasn't a good situation and since he attacked livestock, state law requires him to be put down. The rescue made the decision, not me. I'm sad because I have had him for 12 weeks. We nursed him through his surgery to have his eye removed, his heartworm treatment, etc.

Anyway, The Ridgie didn't work out today. He wasn't a ridgie afterall. The guy had some kind of mix, the dog had no manners, and my dog was really stiff and unwelcoming to him. It's weird because my dog loves other dogs, people, kids, cats, everything. He was uncomfortable for sure.

So our search is still on. :)
 
Wow a Coffee, Georgia poster! I might need to take another look at the state map but think thats the closest ive came to Tattnall County. But then maybe not everyone has pinned their locations. We just might have some common blood lol. Anyways good morning everyone, gonna go look at a house today so wish me luck I need to find a place soon...getting to many critters.
Had a long chat with my fil and he says once we get a place he wants to move with me, mil well I think there is days hed be happy if she stayed with the youngest boy here lol. His refuge is to go sit with his sheep and chickens. I talked to him about my plans and hes happy to have a new start. My bil raises pigeons and well its just sad. Hes in it for the quick buck and runs we would call it a mill. I care too much about animals for that. But my fil is in his 90s and mil in her 70s so ee don't know how long Gods gonna give us b4 he calls them home so its our turn to do what we can for them until then. Plus I might just make a habit of sitting out on his bench swatting flies in the sun. Take care everyone.

if you are talking about me being the Coffee GA poster... I'm in Coffee Co. TN.... just close enough to GA that I was interested in the GA thread.
Also, I'm not even from the area, I grew up in West Virginia (bleh).
