Is it safe for my vaccinated dog to be with an unvaccinated puppy?

Question

Hello, I have a 11 month old Maltese, female who has had ALL her shots and vaccinations, and I recently purchased a male Maltese who is 8 weeks old and hasn't had his second set of shots yet, appointment in 2 weeks, do I need to always separate the two since the baby.is not fully vaccinated? Do they need to avoid any and all contact. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 3 lbs

No, you do not need to separate them. It is actually good if they are together as it helps socialisation. Just do not take your older dog to a dog park or let him meet other dogs while your puppy has not had the full course of vaccinations.
