Great Ana you are trying to socialize Kiki to your neighbors new dog. Yorkies and large breeds can coexist, but it will take both you and your neighbor working together to ensure it's success.

We have 2 yorkies which are 4 lbs each and also 2 outdoor Great Pyrenees dogs. From day 1, each day I would take our yorkies outside and introduce them, and at first the yorkies would not leave my arms. As the yorkies needed to be taken out for potty breaks, I would put them on a leash and keep introducing them to my Pyrenees's.

Now my two yorkies roam my yard with my supervision. They both go to my back pasture area to relieve themselves, my Pyrenees give me this look like "oh it's those two long haired squirrels again". My friends are amazed our Pyrenees have no interest in our yorkies. Reason I think, is because they see each other every day, know their scents, and they also know there not a threat.

This is much easier said thand done when you own both of the breeds. The key is for you and your neighbor to make sure your two dogs are very well socialized with each other.
