| Anyone Add A Chihuahua To Their Yorkie Home? WE HAVE A 1 1/2 YR OLD YORKIE WE ARE NUTS ABOUT. WE ARE THINKING OF GETTING A CHIHUAHUA PUPPY? HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WILL WORK OUT. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD ONLY DO YORKIES BUT I SAW A 3LB CHIHUAHUA TODAY THAT WAS AMAZING. WHAT DO YOU THINK? THANKS MICHELLE |

| Well we added a yorkie to our chihuahua family Annie (chi) took Allie in she acts like Allies mommy she keeps her in line Annie is not very playful at all and Allie well she is hyper as hyper gets. Chis and yorks are so different! But I personally think they go great together They kind of even each other out. Here anyways. GL on your decision.

| I think it depends on your baby's personality. We have a Chi/yorkie mix and things have been really stressed in the house. She and Diesel get along great. At times she is VERY rough and also very hyper and we have to seperate them so that nobody gets hurt. Our Shepherd for what ever reason just doesn't seem to like her yet. He will see her coming and he runs in the other direction. A lot of that is because she is so hyper and is always after his tail LOL. He is very good about it all. He will fuss a bit and then take off. When Diesel was a pup he use to grab Shep's lip and hold on for dear life. We had to pry him off at times! I think they will get along well. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't play to rough. Puupy teeth can really hurt!

| We have a tiny pom-chihuahua mix. He is such a dear, odd little fellow. He rarely barks, but makes this odd meowing- noise at times. He's curious as a cat, and has chewed up wallpaper, vinyl flooring, you-name- it. Jazz, our yorkie, is much bigger than he, but they love playing together. Jazz will drag Mo around by the ear, and when I scold Jazz and pick him up, Mo just lays there, like "Why did you interrupt our game?" Jazz is so well behaved while I am gone, but Mo, well, he destroys something new everyday! Guess he needs more exercise. No matter what his quirks, I love Mo as much as Jazz, and I am glad they have each other. |

| The Yorkie and Chi are both small breeds and should do well together. I was offered a little chi for 100 last week and was plannung on getting it for my mom, but not sure if my mom is able to handle a puppy now, so now Im trying to decide if I should take it or not. |

| We have two chihuahuas at the moment (one actually belongs to my sister, but we've had him a few months). So far, they get along great with Lola. My female chi is definitely the dominant one of the group, but she's not at all aggressive. I just posted pictures of them together in the picture section. |

| My parents have 2 chi's. They are very attached and babied by my Dad so when I bring Reesie over they are very jealous and will bite Reesie if she gets to close to my Dad. Reesie is very submissive to them so they usually just warn her to keep her distance. I would be more likely to bring a Chi into a yorkie household instead of the other way around. Good Luck |

| I'm glad you posted this! I've been wanting a Chihuahua so bad for quite some time now. I keep telling myself that 3 yorkies are enough, but I just can't seem to get the Chihuahua thoughts out of my mind and heart.

| Chis are great. I have a one year old yorkie, and 6 weeks ago we added a chi girl to our family. i am so happy with her. She is more loving than my yorkie and less hyper...and my yorkie barks non stop, and chi girl doesn't bark at all). But if you like very energetic dogs, better take yorkie.. Chis are way more calm... |
