Default Introducing two Shepherds

Any advice in introducing my 3yr male shepherd to his mother (7 yrs old). They showed some aggression but I'm not sure if they picked up on our uncertainty. They touched nose and then got a little touchy. We took a walk together and they seemed to settle down but when we tried to let them mingle they both showed agrression. My dog is well socialized but the mother is not. Any advice. Thanks

I suggest you continue the walking but don't attempt the mingling. Instead keep them separate, so they each have their own space.

Walk them with each other like the other person suggested. Stay parallel, dont walk them towards each other. Let them gradually learn each other aren't a threat.
