At times when mine are playing, she runs over my yorkies and rolls them. i am scared to death her paws will break their ribs. Her paws bruise my legs when she is standing on my lap. it scares them to death. She sniffs them and lifts them up off the floor with her nose. She has the run of the house because she is actually my husbands baby. You have to watch them VERY carefully around the yorkies. I would never buy one to be a playmate to a yorkie. Ours is solid black and she does have resp. problems. Can't run more than a few feet when playing in the hot weather . it is really hard on them to be in extreme cold or heat and they fart like you have neever heard before. There are two or three fairly recent threads on here someewhere. i know there is one in Yorkie brothers and sisters. My pictures of Lucy are on here. |
I was going to comment on their powerfulness but since I don't personally have one, I thought I'd leave that to someone with personal experience. My grandparents had one years ago but I never really saw her react with other dogs. They are just a bundle of muscles though
so I imagine they can get the best of smaller dogs. Maybe it's not so much that they are bigger or weigh more than most Yorkies but it's the stamina that they have when they are running and playing. The one at the dog park that we saw was just crazy! Good luck with whatever ya'll decide.
