 Introducing a new Yorkie
Hi I am new here. I have a 4 year old female Yorkie named Roxy and a couple days ago we got a male named Ace to keep her company. Roxy is a very submissive non aggressive 6 lb. dog so we told the breeder we would wait for a small male because we thought that would be the best fit. Roxy has always been fine around other dogs her size but she hasn't had much exposure to any other dogs.
We have been trying to introduce the dogs but it seems like Roxy is scared of Ace. From the minute I walked into the house with Ace Roxy new something was up. We have had dog visitors before and she never acted this way. She stays away from me when I am close to Ace and shy's away when Ace approaches her. I have not neglected her at all, I love her so much and the main reason we got another Yorkie is so she has a friend.
If Ace is with me and Roxy comes up Ace is starting to growl or bark. I feel so bad for Roxy. Is this normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I tried to upload pics but they were to large. |
