Hi we have a lab/husky mix named skylar who is about 21 weeks old she has been spayed. We got Koba a 9 week old white german shepherd a couple of days ago and all they do is play/fight with eachother. Skylar hackles are usually up and Koba is usually growling so i don't think it is playing most of the time.

I really dont know what to do. It is so stressful and Skylar who was my little princess doesn't even act like the same dog anymore and it sucks.

No expert here but wonder if you should leave them work it out and not interfere---in fact--ignore altogether if you can--try not to show any feelings/emotions as dogs can pick up on how you feel real easy. It may not be as bad as you think and they are both pretty little yet so wouldn't think they could hurt each other much. If it does get really bad--then I guess you might have to separate them at the time. You have only had them together a few days---Give them a little more time to get use to one another--at least a week. Don't play favorites either!! It took about a week or so for my 2 to get along when I brought my 10ish rescue dog home to meet my 12 year old cocker spaniel and I mean my older cocker was pretty set in his ways even. It has been a little over a year now and they are good buddies.
