Itroducing my Puppy to my 3 yr old Corgi

When is a good time to start letting my 3 month old (Jelly)to start playing with my 3 year old (Butters). Butters is a little jeolous of other dogs. So i'm afraid he's gonna hurt her or something. Can anyone give me some advice???
Thankyou

It is going to be you and your human family that will probably determine how your older male dog treats the female newcomer. When you let them get together for playing outside the house, don't interfere - unless it's war, don't make any remarks or say words that Butters could interpret as any form of encouragement for him to act in any way other than gentlemanly and don't give any undue praise to Jelly. There is a food element in the names you have given your Corgis but don't bring any form of food into their getting together now or until they can be both trusted in the future. Don't feed them anywhere near each other and when they are together save any affection for another time, other than perhaps to offer a collective praise for playing without any real and meaningful violence. Their play may involve rough and tumble and play biting -but that is not the same as real biting. Don't include in their play any toys perceived or otherwise belonging to Butters. To all intent and purpose, you've got to take the plunge at some stage. Better now that later.

Are you just now bring Jelly home or have you needed to keep them seperated for a while? Is Butters agressive or just normally a little ruff? Please give us more background.

I would like to thankyou Michael Romanos for your advise. Butters is getting along wonderfully with Jelly. He only let her now who was boss twice. Once when she sniffed his butt, and another when she played with his toys.
