Linda, I think it will work out just fine! Buddy and Beau are securing their place in the pack order.

Jack still has to remind Max who's boss now and then. When I hear a certain tone in the play-growl start to change- I intervene and play big-bad-boss

Right now I'm guessing that Buddy and Beau are sensing your protectiveness and attention to gambler and they may be a little jelous. This will pass as everyone settles in and Gambler secures his place in the household.

I'd do what you are doing and keep a good eye on them when they're all interacting.
Right now Gambler really is a baby and the older two may be feeling a little insecure with the big change in their world.
It's going to be natural for Buddy and Beau to excert themselves to keep their pack order in place.
It won't take them very long to figure out that Gambler can't dominate or threaten them.

Pay some special attention to Buddy and Beau and praise them lavishly when they are gentle with Gambler. Retain your position as leader and things will all fall into place. (which I am sure you are doing anyway)

I was pretty nervous and unsure of how Jack would react to Max. It was easier for Jack though because he was the only other dog. Buddy and Beau have each other and a well established relationship.
I am sure with your guidance and reassurance, Gambler will be hanging off their lips and being gently nose-rolled in no time

It's amazing how quickly they all establish and get comfortable with their roles, even though from time to time you'll see them putting each other in their places.

Thanks so much for compliments, and also thanks for advice- I think I might be needing more help soon. It's great to have Pawtalk members to be able to help with pet problems. Today is going pretty well. Buddy seems calmer, beau still a grouch but he hasn't tried to hurt Gambler. I'm giving them all the love I can- so no one gets left out. I have another pix here:

waiting is a killer! But it's exciting too. I read you decided on a Shelti capn? Can't wait to see pix when you finally get it. Now is there a pregnant Mom yet, or you still waiting for that part to happen?

Linda Linda Linda! This is NOT cool!!! Ahhhhhhhh, I wish I had Gambler! Your so lucky!

Labs, Shepherds, and Great Danes are my three favorite breeds! And I'm SO picky about what they look like, especially Labs! And when I saw Gamblers pictures here, MAN! He's just the puppy I'da looked for and picked!

Take as many pictures as you will and want, I will LOVE to look!

Thanks again!
Mallory you crack me up! It's a good thing you don't live near me~ I might find my puppy gone!
Good news! Beau accepted Gambler and started playing with him yesterday!!!!! I was soooooo relieved you have no idea. Buddy is still grumpy but no threat really. He's the older boy so I'm not to concerned about it.
