I agree with the others to young i would take her out just for the exercise with another dog i took mine out at 9 months the other dog was chasing the rabbit and she was chasing the other dog wanting to play give it time.

another good thing to do would to take her to puppy classes, it is a good thing to do with gettin the dog socialized so she gets used to every thing befor you work her. sorry for the spelling by the way

Sound advice, your pup will learn from the more experienced dog. Be patient with your pup, personally I would wait until at least 12 months old, concentrate on good training
