I am trying to mix and socialize my two litter pups, one two months old and another one 7 months old (boxer) together. For the first few days, I dare not meet them and my elder boxer did do some barking on the younger one. Could they be mixed and played by now? or ... need to wait until the younger one grows about 3 to 4 months old? I scare the small one will suffer from physical contact with my elder boxer! Welcome for discussion and thanks.
regards

It depends on whether your older Boxer is a well-socialized dog. If not, he may try to attack your younger pup. What I did with my not-very-sociable dog was, I introduced her to my new pup to her gradually. For example, let the older one see the pup through the window or something. Once she's used to the idea of another pup inside the house, open the door and let her see the pup properly. (It's better if you have a grill door, so that the older one can't harm the pup).
Once the older dog isn't growling or barking at the sight of the puppy, I think it's quite safe to intro them properly (i.e. let them sniff each other). But be CAREFUL! Keep the older dog on a leash if necessary. Don't leave them alone together without supervision!
I have to stress that it is very important to keep on "spoiling" your older dog (continue as usual, don't neglect her!). In fact, pamper her a bit more so that she doesn't become jealous!
Yup ... I tried to introduce each of them together slowly and by now, I think it works ! Anyway, two of them will start to play around, pushing, grabbing when they meet. I have to look after them when they played. From my view, my younger male boxer is more aggresive than the elder female boxer and he is so brave to 'fight' with her even he is smaller in size .
