hmmm....teagan is dog aggressive, but luc was the existing dog.
still, while i brought her in immediately, i did VERY slow introductions of them together....i kept it positive, short, and they're great together.
i recently brought in neb, who is 6.5 weeks old (unfortunately). i did have the advantage of watching video of him interacting with his litter and then meeting him and watching him interact with his litter - it's why i adopted him specifically - b/c i felt his personality would mesh well with both luc and teagan.
do you know how the boxer pup is around other dogs? how did you introduce reich to wolfgang? what went 'right' there?
teagan has been great with neb, but that's also her personality - she does really good with helplessness, it appeals to her better side (i can't think of a nicer way to put it). i'd look at reich's personality, what she does and does not respond to (and not just with dogs; teagan responding well to helplessness i have previously only observed with people in situations where she was amped-up aggressive or in situations where she would normally have responded aggressively). if it helps, teagan initially checked out neb while he was crated. she was also tethered to me and i've done a lot of work w/her to make sure she knows my expectations.
don't know if any of this helps, but i would really look at reich, not only her dog behaviour, but as a whole, as well as at the puppy and it's behaviour - do you think they'll go well together? can you find out more about his personality if necessary?
good luck!
