Another question... I have an English Mastiff "Sara" who is a big ol lazy goofball baby! She's also 13 months old and is 100 pounds. Any one have a yorkie and a larger dog. Do they get along okay? |
We also have an 80 lb black Lab (Lucee) and Lucee and Bella LOVE each other. Lucee is very gentle with Bella, has been from the start BUT I do not let them play unsupervised because sometimes they BOTH get too excited and I'm afraid Bella could get hurt (it would be completely accidental).
We don't have any small children living in the house but I have a 23 month old granddaughter and Bella does great with her, but again it's very supervised because Makenzie is just too young to understand that she could hurt Bella and I don't wan't to take a chance that if Bella were to get hurt she might snap at or bite Makenzie (bascially I need to protect them both). Since Gracey is not a puppy (a couple of years old?) and you don't really know much about her personality or history I would really pay attention to how she reacts to your daughter, she may have a fear of children which you'll need to be aware of. Bottom line, don't let them be around each other unsuperivsed and as your daughter gets older and she learns how to handle Gracey hopefully they'll become best buds!
