How do I introduce my kitten with my dogs?

[Magnolia]

I am getting a ragdoll kitten soon and I have two great pyrenees.
The boy dog was attacked by our old dog a looong time ago (we got rid of the attacking dog) and since then he has been a bit more protective (when were around other dogs) but he doesn't really care about ferrets, guinea pigs, birds.
The girl isn't agressive but loves to play. She used to love playing with our ferret and doesn't mind Guinea pigs.

How should I introduce them to each other considering the male would be agression problems (if he had any) and the female would be to rough/playful(hopefully not TOO playful). How do I introduce with these different problems?

When you introduce them, keep them separate for a while. Like the dogs behind a baby gate so that they don't overwhelm the kitten or have the opportunity to be too rough with him, but they can still see and smell the kitten.

When they start to become used to each others presence you can start introducing them one dog at a time, keeping the dog on leash. Keep the leash lax so the dog doesn't feel like he has to strain forward to investigate, which could work them up more. Instead keep it fun and relaxed. If they start to interact too roughly with the kitten, or become too boisterious let them know to back off a bit. With my Pyr that means a stern "Leave it!" and if he politely ignores me as Pyrs will do =), he gets a stern little poke from me. Usually that does the trick with him. If your dogs are way too worked up to the point that it doesn't work you'll have to remove them and calm them down before you can reintroduce them.

Most mature Pyrs have a good idea of their size and will be gentle with smaller animals. Even so I would monitor their interactions until I felt comfortable having them around each other.

Oh please don't! wait until she's a few months old! I have a cat named sadie. When my mom introduced her my my dogs things turned bad VERY bad! My dog was just playing with her, she bit a little too hard and my kitten ended up in the emergency vet hospital for 2 weeks! She barely made it. She ended up being a 4,000 dollar kitty.

Introduce them slowly and cautiously,Try to act like everythings okay and calm with the dog and normal even with protective dogs they can be gentle with small things.
