I do believe it was on her chest and/or back area. but like i said, a nip from a large dog is like a bite from a small one. he was not defensive. She was quite a nipper and chewed on him and so he nipped her back, it was one small snap. that is all it took. i am sorry for getting all you people mad and now hating me. I still want a yorkie, I've obviously learned my lesson, and if others can have large dogs and yorkies, then why can't i.

You are in no way being shunned. I would love you to stick around YT. There are a lot of YT members that don't have yorkies yet. There is so much to be learned around here and great people to get to know. I just think it's not safe for you to have a yorkie around a lab that killed your first one. Even if it was an accident, it happened...he's proven that even a small amount of retaliation can kill a small dog. I'm sure you'd make a great yorkie owner! But I just don't think it's a good idea for you to have one with your current dog
