We adopted Copper. Our new Husky/Pit bull mix puppy on Friday. So far he is a great dog. Very bright, he is already doing good with potty training. Only 2 messes so far.

The problem is Copper is extremely fearful of Juliet our other Husky mix. And I'll admit Juliet has not taken too kindly to him. Lex our Labrador, our oldest dog. He has kind of taken Copper under his wing. He is very nurturing toward him. But Lex is a very nurturing dog.
Juliet snapped a Copper about 10 minutes ago and when it happened well Lex and Juliet got into a fight. Or atleast what seemed like a fight. Lex and Juliet have always gotten on very well. And I think Lex was defending Copper.
We can already tell that Juliet hates Copper and we may have to keep them separated. But Juliet has always gotten along with other dogs as has Lex.

What is going on exactly? How can I fix it?
Lex and Juliet are both fine, neither one got hurt we were able to break them up pretty quick. This is just odd behavior from Juliet
