Hi
I would definitely keep them apart when you aren't around. My dad had the most wonderful chow who was as gentle as can be. He also had 2 yorkies. Penny was about 5 lbs and Skippy was 3 1/2 lbs. He had both yorkies before he got the chow. Christopher (the chow) LOVED those babies. But when Penny got spayed, Christopher got very protective and Skippy came over to lay down by Penny and Christopher bit him in the head. He had to have surgery and it looked like he would be okay. But when he came home, the next time he went near Penny, Christopher bit him again and it killed him this time. I know Christopher was just protecting Penny and he felt so bad. He was licking Skippy trying to get him to wake up. It was so heartbreaking. Even though they are gentle, it only takes one bite to kill one of these little babies. I would be very careful. |
