You know Paige the best so you are probably on the right track. I don't know how far you're going to pick up the puppy, but with me it was a 2 day drive, so a motel night on the way, and on the way back. Meetings are always best on neutral territory so we thought that would be the best way and the breeder agreed - Reckless stayed in her crate in the car when I visited with the breeder and my new puppy. Then Asha went into her crate next to Reckless so they saw each other for several hours but couldn't touch as we headed to the overnight stop. By the time we got home they knew each other well. Reckless was pretty horrified that she stayed forEVER, especially with the screaming whines the first few days & nights of crating. I was so nervous that Reckless was going to hurt Asha, but in the end I felt more sorry for Reckless having to put up with this wild little hellion!No she won't be. I get the intention but I don't think its 100% a good idea. It will be too nerve wracking for Paige to be in a completely new environment, with people she doesn't know, other adult dogs running around and/or barking, and then throwing a puppy at her face too. A lot of stress for the puppy too, I'd think. I'd want to keep the interactions controlled and positive. Taking Paige would be the opposite of all of that.
