Jax and Peyton are getting along extremely well now. It took a few days for them to sort it all out, but I could not have asked for a better match.
Jax loves to play with Peyton, he does not play with any other dogs which I think is interesting. They drink out of the same water bowl at the same time, food is not an issue now, even soup bones or Peyton prize toys. Peyton encourages Jax to play tug of war "with" her toys. Peyton has brought out the puppy in Jax and Jax trusts Peyton more than me. Jax is still far from settled in but between the two of them, it's working out very well.
I can't really say one dog is dominant over the other, but if I had to guess, Peyton is still alpha but it seems so slight most of the time it's hard to tell. It's almost as they treat each other as equals. "Jax and Peyton, sittin' in a tree, K I S S I N G" at the end of week 3.
