| Big Dog with Your Little Yorkie???? Okay, Sophie has an older sister who is a Rottweiler/Boxer mix (mostly boxer) She is thick, strong, Muscular, not so smart, but an Alpha Dog if there was ever one. I am nervous having Sophie around her because I know if Pixie steps on her the wrong way even once, she could end up seriously hurt. Am I being overprotective? When they play Pixie likes to stand over Sophie and when she runs she runs over her and kicks her accidentally. My husband thinks I am being paranoid. Am I? I am afraid Sophie will get seriously hurt. |

| You always have to be careful with big dogs and little dogs. We have a Boxer who dearly loves the Yorkie kids. It is amusing to watch Boo try to play with the Yorkies. She trys to make herself small and run with them, but sometimes...... accidents happen and she will bump in to one of her little sisters. The Yorkie kids get really po'd when Boo accidently steps on their hair. |

| Well, here is my thought process (paranoid?) If a Yorkie can just jump off a couch and ahve to have its spine or neck fused back together and end up in a doggie wheelchair, well what if Pixie (husband named her not me) steps (accidentally) on Sophie's back she could end up out of commision. Pixie is not at all careful about where she steps or walks. Poor Sophie normally cowers down on the ground if Pixie is out around her. I think it would be great if they could run and play, but I am so stressed out when they are together, I am just constanly worrying. |
