I'm assuming you have always wanted a Dane and thats why you are choosing that breed so as long as you do your research and if you do get it as a puppy make sure that you are very careful with the 2 of them together so that the Yorkie doesn't get hurt which could happen easily with as small as she is I would go for it. My 10month old lab and our little dogs play together very well, she is still a puppy herself but seems to "know" that Bella is tiny and is very very gentle with her. |
I love Boston terriers!
No matter how sweet the big dog is, I'd still worry about him hurting such a tiny Yorkie. I have heard too many stories over the years of small dogs being accidently injured by a larger companion.
That's why I love the idea of a small, but "manly" dog like a Boston terrier. Pugs are wonderful little dogs, too, and kind of "tough" looking. A neighbor has a Min Pin and he looks just like a miniature Doberman.
