my older dog ecepting his puppies

Question
(i have labs)my dog Dixie had puppies about 6 weeks ago and their dad Bj wont come close to them and if there walk past he will growl at them and I'm scared that he might hurt them
so how would i be able to get him to like the puppies

Answer
I think if he was going to hurt them he would have. Growling is communication and 6 week old puppies are learning (among other things) bite inhibition.

Give him the opportunity to accept them in his own time frame. If you are truly concerned that he will hurt them, then keep them separate. Try to avoid forcing the issue, he may not have been exposed to puppies b enough to be comfortable with them.
