Chi to accept her (eventually). Most puppies get a "puppy license"
with adult dogs and get away with more. At first, it will probably
very confusing to your older guy but he will most likely learn that
she is part of "the pack" and will accept her.

little one while the older one sniffs her.

show him up front that it is unacceptable to be aggressive toward the
puppy. He will probably growl a lot when she tries to play or jump
on him. That's normal. Dogs have their own way of disiplining
puppies. Just make sure he doesn't hurt her. He may nip at her
a little to let her know her limits but biting should not happen.
