I brought my shih poo, Oliver, in when Otis (yorkie) was about a year and a half. Don't be discouraged. Oliver tries to be dominant. He tugs on Otis's ears and tries to play rough. They only play together every now and then and it's usually chasing each other. Most of the time it seems Oliver just gets on Otis's nerves and he gets up and moves away from him. I think they love each other. Oliver definately feels bonded to Otis because when he's gone he looks for him everywhere. They are 2 and 3 now and they keep each other company, but don't play together very much. Hang in there, they will establish the order and hopefully everything will be fine.
