| Puppies not getting along... feedback please... Hello needing some insight or advice, I currently have a Male Yorkie named Monty is will be 2yrs in September. He is an amazing little guy 3lb 8oz. Very smart and trained very well. We are not home as much as we would like so we wanted to find him a companion. We recently brought home a female yorkie puppy 6 weeks ago. Stella she is currently 15 weeks and 2lbs 2oz. We had read that male/female relations tend to do best. Stella loves to play and is constantly attacking Monty. He is a very relaxed dog and likes to play but has never been too hyper. He has not warmed up to Stella yet, he still refuses to look at her. doesn't ever want to lay with her. Runs away from her. He will occasionally engage in playing with her, but then it seems to get more aggressive than normal play. I'm really worried I have made a bad decision and have made Monty more Miserable then ever. Appreciate any feedback and maybe i just need to give it a bit more time she is still a pup. |

| Give it time. Things will improve as your puppy matures. Read this thread for tips on how to handle things: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...rustrated.html

| Yeah, I agree that it will improve as time goes on. When I got my second yorkie my first got too aggressive while playing but that never happens anymore. |

| This is normal behavior. I had a 3 yo and bought home a new baby, my 3 yo headed for high grounds, the sofa lol where she stayed for weeks, the baby was hyper and playful. It took almost 2 months before the 3 yo would interact with baby jaws. 3 years later my now 6 and 3 yo I bought home baby # 3, now I had two scared girls on high grounds, yep, the sofa. Again it took a couple of months for the 2 older girls to interact with the new kid. Give it time, Monty needs to adjust to wild child. When they do play keep them under close supervising, if the puppy gets to rough correct her to play calmer. Before you know it you will have two zooming babies racing through the house lol.

| FOR MOST pups, it takes at least four weeks to even begin to have a relationship according to my trainer. Yes, sometimes you get lucky and it happens sooner, but it is not the norm. Hang tight! I was worried about the transition when I first brought home my little boy. Same situation, an almost two year old yorkie, very smart and well trained and brought home a five mos old of the opposite gender...I was scared the first couple of weeks, Canana & Matese held my virtual hand and now they are inseparable. |

| We were very lucky with our two. Zeus took to Perseus fairly quickly. Now he is an overprotective big brother. They are inseparable. They do everything together: Eat, potty, drink water, play, and sleep. What one does, the other does. We were worried that they wouldn't get along, because Zeus was a spoiled Mama's boy. Therefore, I was the sticking point. For a little while, Zeus didn't want me having anything to do with Perseus. Now they both love me the same. I am not fond of girls (human, canine, or otherwise), and I am one!!! LOL! Both of our babies are boys, and they are the sweetest. Thankfully, I have a son, too! To show you what the future will likely bring, here are a couple of photos. One is them in our bed this morning not wanting to wake up. The other is a progression of them age-wise. Before you know it, more than likely, your babies will love each other and be inseparable. We didn't try to push and just let it happen. |

| Di have nothing to offer other than to wait, we too had situation where we we had my mums Yorkie who loved everyone except the Yorkie pup that I brought home whom she destested, but after a few months of not accepting him she suddenly took a liking for him and she loved him dearly , we then added a secound pup who she adored from day 1 she loved that the girl as if she was her own little puppy. So my advice is to heed everyone's advice and keep with it as they may become inseparable friends. Good luck

YT 500 Club Member | Yeah give it time. Izzy hated Madlyn. Now she lives her but it took a while... The puppy needs to learn personal bounderies and then things will calm down.
